I empathize with your situation and pray to Allah to guide you to the ways of peace and reconciliation.

 

Divorce is indeed a grave matter. One should resort to it only after exhausting all means of reconciliation. Allah orders us in the Qur’an that we ought to settle marriage disputes through conciliation and arbitration.

 

I think your husband is acting impulsively; he is not justified in acting upon the wishes of his family without regard for you and his child. That is not right.

 

I would urge both of you to get marriage counseling.

 

I would also advise both of you to read and study the following book and apply its lessons:

 

Blissful Marriage: A Practical Islamic Guide by Ekram Beshir.

 

Furthermore, please continue to turn to Allah asking His forgiveness.

 

Be ever constant in Istighfaar for the Prophet (peace be upon him) has told us that by doing so Allah will remove hardship and provide relief for us in ways that we would never be able to imagine.

 

Also, never fail to read the following Du’a on a regular basis

 

Rabbanaahablanaa min azwaajinaa wadhurriyyaatinaa qurrataayunin waij’alnaalilmuttaqeena imaman

(Our Lord! Grant us joy and comfort in our spouses and children and make us role models for the God-fearing people).
