Khula Edit

Main article: Khula
Khula is the right of a woman in Islam to seek a divorce or separation from her husband. A Muslim woman may petition a qadi, or in non-Islamic areas an Islamic community panel, to grant her divorce if the husband refuses. The waiting period (iddah) of a woman who seeks a divorce is one menstrual cycle or one month if she is post-menopauseal, i.e. ceased menstruating. This is to ensure she is not pregnant.[27] If the woman is pregnant, then the waiting period is until she gives birth.

Valid reasons for granting khula vary by region, but may include cruelty (darar), impotence, or the husband not providing adequate food and shelter.

So because he isn’t the main support of her shelter and food, then it’s within their laws that she can divorce, I didn’t know that, thank you...interesting...
