The answer

If the husband pronounces "You are divorced" before consummation, the divorce takes effect, and the husband does not have the right to reconciliation ( رجعة ) except with a new contract, unless there was a valid seclusion (khalwah sahihah), in which case he can reconcile without a new contract. A woman who has entered into a marriage contract but has not yet consummated it owes obedience to her father. One should pause during misunderstandings, as anger is from Satan, and a husband hitting his wife without justification is not a characteristic of noble people. The things the questioner feels might be psychological or neurological and require consulting doctors, and if it is highly probable that they are due to magic, possession, or the evil eye, then the treatment for them is lawful ruqyah.
