What is the ruling on living with a homosexual husband, and is it obligatory to seek a divorce from him, knowing that he is unaware that she knows of his homosexuality?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the husband's perversion is established, the wife should strive to reform him through admonition and by praying for his guidance. If he repents, then that is well and good. Otherwise, she should not remain with him, and she must seek a divorce from him, for associating with him is a great harm.
