Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

If your aunt is unhappy in the marriage and she does not receive any financial upkeep amount from her husband, and he does not respect her, then she is within her rights to demand a divorce, failing which she can initiate a khula and divorce him. If the husband is guilty of not fulfilling his role as the earner and provider then what kind of a husband is he? That is a basic duty and requirement of the man of the house.

 
Get your aunt to go to the local Kazi and apply for a khula. She should be firm in her decision as otherwise it will end up as a joke. She cannot feel pity etc., after applying for a khula. She should think clearly, take proper advice from her family and then only go for it. There will be no sin attached to her if she applies for a khula if what you have narrated is true.
 

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
