If a Muslim woman divorces her husband because of abuse then there are many safeguards in place for her and her children. She can get welfare and foodstamps if she needs to, also it is the responsibility of the husband to still make sure that she and the kids are financially provided for fully unless she remarries. She can work even if she was still married, although she does not have to if she does not want to. No one can force a Muslim woman to work, not even the government. Just as no one can deny her to work, provided her household is taken care of. Yes, she can get a credit card in her name even if she is married, I have 2.
