Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a married woman with no children. I lived with my husband’s family until he became able to rent his own home. Later, my husband got sick with efflorescence. He hid the truth and asked strongly the doctor to not inform me about his disease, but the doctor told me that his disease can be transmitted to me at any time. I found that living with him will put my life at risk, so I decided to ask him to divorce me, especially that he hid the truth forgetting that I am his wife. He accepted to divorce me, but after I gave him a big sum of money as he asked. Some of my friends blamed me and accused me with cowardness. I feel sad, as if I made a crime. So do you think am I right or not?

Dear M.S

I don’t think so that you made a mistake, this is your right. if he loved and appreciated you, why would he hide the truth about his situation. You are his wife and he should tell you everything about his life and give you the choice either you stay with him or not, this is if he really cares about you.

What about if the doctor did not tell you, what would happen to you? The disease would be transmitted to you.

What was going to make it worse was if you have children, the disease would have been transmitted to the entire family and that will be a bigger tragic?

Don’t be sad, what happened shows you what kind of man your husband was, and when he asked you to pay the money to divorce you, showed a negative appraoch from his side. Don’t believe others, maybe if they were in your position, they would have done the same.

Pray for him to recover from his disease that is all what you can do for him.
