As salamu alaykum brother,

 

 

Shokran for writing to our live session. I am truly sorry for all you have been going through with your wife, may Allah grant you ease and mercy in this situation.

 

Given all, she has done (the abuse, the poisoning of your child, the outrageous temper, and general instability) you have every right to divorce brother.

 

It seems you have been going through this for some time now and you have done all that you can. You even tried to get your wife to go to counseling (which she desperately needs) many times and she refused.

 

As your wife refuses to get help, it is incumbent upon you as a father, a son and a Muslim to ensure your family is safe. As it is now, no one is safe. I would kindly advise you to seek the services of a lawyer as well as your imam at the Masjid to assist you in either separation and or divorce. As she is violent and tried to poison your daughter, beat your daughter when she was 2 months old and beat her again at 6 months old (if I read correctly, please forgive me if I am wrong) she could also be arrested. This is horrific. She needs to leave the home immediately before someone ends up dead. She probably is suffering from a mental illness as you suspect and I would kindly advise you to call 911 should she have another outburst.

 

I understand you’re wanting your child to have a two parent home brother but at what price? Hell? Your child has been beaten since 2 months of age and her mother poisoned her. Your daughter will likely be severely injured both physically and psychologically should your wife remain in the home.

 

Perhaps your family doctor can get a 5150 (involuntary psychiatric hospital admittance) due to the severity of the situation. Please forgive me for not knowing the options in your country however insha’Allah they may be similar. Please insha’Allah, get help now to remove her from the home. You are in our prayers brother, please let us know how you and your daughter are doing. May Allah protect you and your family.
