Is it permissible to seek divorce from a husband who suffers from infertility, in addition to his stinginess with money and time, his preference for his family, and his lack of effort to seek treatment, especially with the wife's desire for children and her fear of wasting her life?

The answer

Islam aims for the stability and continuation of married life. The marriage contract is meant to be permanent and everlasting, and Allah Almighty described it as a "solemn covenant": "And they have taken from you a solemn covenant." Therefore, this relationship should not be exposed to anything that weakens it, and the reasons mentioned in the question do not necessitate divorce; rather, they require honesty and sincerity.
