🏛️ Polygyny: the law · #112

Since receiving notice of my husband's polygyny application, I cannot sleep and feel life has no meaning. What should I do?

What you are feeling is a sign that you need help now, and asking for help is not a sign of weakness. If you are thinking of harming yourself, call the emergency line 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. To talk and get support, contact Talian Kasih 15999. Tell someone you trust today, and ask them to stay with you. See a doctor; sleeplessness and a lasting sense of emptiness can be treated. The court matter can wait, and you can apply for a postponement on health grounds. Allah does not burden a soul “beyond what it can bear” (Surah al-Baqarah 2:286). See counselling.
