Dear Sisters,
I was legally married, but along the line, infidelity crept into my marriage. To be honest, both my husband and I were guilty—we were both unfaithful.
One day, something I never imagined happened. My husband and I coincidentally ran into each other at a hotel—with our respective partners. A fight broke out right there, and in the heat of the moment, my husband started beating me, calling me a cheat. He dragged me back home, only to later throw me out of the house.
He justified his actions by saying the house belonged to him and that I was supposed to stay there and take care of the children. He further claimed that as a Muslim, he was entitled to marry up to four wives and was merely “testing the waters” for a second marriage.
Using his authority as “the man of the house,” he sacked me and divorced me.
Now my question is: was he right to divorce me on the grounds of infidelity, when both of us were guilty?
And should I accept this divorce, or do I have a right to challenge it?
Sisters, please help me.
