Just wondering, regarding the parents requesting the son to divorce his wife, if the wife is an upright Muslimah and the parents want her gone because perhaps she’s fallen ill or can’t have children in the meanwhile, wouldn’t the parents be hurting the Muslimah’s heart? Asking because it’s known that it’s haram to hurt a Muslim.

If they mention a reason not based on her religiosity or manners to their son, the son shouldn’t relay that reason to his wife IF he’s going to divorce her. With the example you mentioned, if they told him to divorce her because she’s barren (which is very crass), it wouldn’t be wise for him to say “I’m divorcing because my mom and dad said I should since you can’t produce children.” Executing your rights is one thing, but HOW we execute our rights as Muslims makes a great difference in our outcomes with others.
