Husband sitting in seclusion with a female psychologist

Question

My husband goes to a female psychologist. He sits alone with her in a room. He speaks to her about me and discusses me with her. I asked him to stop going to her and instead rather go to a Mufti and also allow me to be present but he still continues going to her. Completely disregards me. Is this allowed in Islam?

Answer

This behaviour is absolutely unacceptable.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
