If a husband refrains from fulfilling his wife's needs and resorts to masturbation, this constitutes harm that permits the wife to seek divorce. It is advisable to discuss this with the husband and explain that what he is doing, such as watching pornographic websites and masturbating, is unlawful (haram), and that there is no harm in seeking legitimate treatment.
