Question
If a wife has cheated on her husband by meeting another man for a „date‟ where he has taken her out to eat and who knows what else, then what advice is there for this husband? I am in extreme emotional pain as a result of this betrayal and I am finding it difficult to just forgive this. Why do I have to be put in so much pain and for the wife to just get away with the heinous crime she has committed? I always took care of her and provided for her and gave her lots of attention and love and she repaid me like this. I am in distress due to her actions and sincerely require your advice.
Answer
You are fully justified if you select the option of Talaaq. An honourable husband will not be able to tolerate such infidelity of his wife. He will not be able to live with the thought of her betrayal embedded in his heart. The treachery of your wife is unacceptable and of the worst kind. Should you decide to divorce her, first do some soul searching. If you had committed zina in the past or were guilty of having flirted with women, then accept your wife's infidelity is a sort of punishment from Allah Ta'ala.
