I am asking this question on behalf of a friend who is Muslim She agreed to marriage to a man and she agreed to commit her income to the family. She agreed to work for longer than the man because he is older and will retire sooner by 10 years. Is this allowed in Islam? I assumed man had to provide food shelter and clothing at his means. Also, he has specified a budget which she agreed to on how much would be spent on different things. If she decides that this contract she agreed to before marriage is not in her best interest and decides to keep the money she makes for working to herself. Her husband earns 2-3x her salary can her husband decide to divorce her because she violated this agreement which was a condition for marriage Who is at fault here the man or the woman, both or neither? After all, they both agreed to it. My friend is not being forced to marry this individual the parents disapproved of the man but she wanted to marry him. If the foundations of the marriage are based on haram principles according to her (they are married in the US) would it be best to dissolve the marriage? Furthermore for my curiosity sake if the man can only work 10 more years because he will enter early retirement age and wants to spend thrifty for food shelter and clothing and the wife does not agree can she take a job to provide for some of those things herself and if the man dies before the woman is he responsible for her well-being after his death. I understand there is no alimony in Islam but since this marriage is in the US they both agreed to split the assets 50^% in a divorce. Finally, my friend knew all of this his age, his salary which he well defined for her, and the responsibilities he was asking for to even consider marrying her and she agreed to it. From what I understand he did not want to marry her and he had other options for marriage and her parents were happy to keep her at home with them. Also, my friend was married before and divorced but he was never married in the past.
