Will Allah accept the repentance of a wife who betrayed her husband and regretted her action?
If the betrayal means committing adultery, it is a grave sin, but with sincere repentance, Allah forgives all sins. Among the conditions of repentance related to the rights of people is that those whose rights have been violated must forgive. Therefore, one must try to seek forgiveness from the husband without explicitly stating the sin. This heinous act does not invalidate the marriage, but the wife must refrain from allowing her husband to have intercourse until she has experienced three menstrual cycles.
