Can a man divorce his wife during pregnancy?

Answer

During pregnancy the husband should be extremely tolerant to his wife and
express more care and affection to her as she bears all the difficulties of
carrying his child. Divorce by itself is disliked; imagine giving it in the
state of pregnancy. However, despite the husband's uncalled behaviour,
divorce given in the state of pregnancy is valid.
