Is a wife's patience with and tolerance of an adulterous husband who forces her to watch pornography and commit sodomy with him, and who abandons prayer, considered haram and sinful?
The wife is advised to offer counsel to her husband with gentleness, kindness, and wisdom, and to show him care, love, and good companionship, hoping that he may turn away from his attachment to other women. If he persists, she has the option of threatening to inform her family or taking the matter to court. If he still does not desist, she may seek a divorce. As for the children, Allah is their Sustainer.
It is forbidden to have anal intercourse with a woman, and its perpetrator is cursed. It is not permissible to obey him in this, nor in watching pornographic films, because there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If the wife offers advice and does not obey him in sin, then she is blameless.
