Dr. Asiya Staff asked 1 week ago
It has been 9 years since my sister got married, and she has 4 children. Her husband is extremely abusive and very bad, but because there are so many children, she cannot take a divorce. He also beats her severely. Our father is no longer with us, and we have only one brother, Allhumdullilah. We are just surrounded by so many problems.

It has been 9 years since your sister's marriage, she has 4 children, and her husband beats her. Your father is no longer here and you have only one brother, but you all are badly surrounded by problems. Tell her to take heart; it's going to be okay. If she is educated, she should get a job and gradually assert her status—that she has her own individuality. If she isn't educated, she should gain more education and bring her hidden talents to use. Slowly, she should separate her life from her husband's evil and focus on her children. She needs 'out-of-the-box' thinking: find a way to take the necessary expenses from him, but handle everything else herself. Next time he hits her, she should call the police. Once a report is filed, he will come to his senses. She should make a noise about it—if he hits once, she should tell ten people. Once he is shamed/humiliated for his actions, he won't do it again. Tell her to be brave; she is the mother of four children.
