The question

Is a wife considered disobedient and sinful if she does not obey her husband who has taken back his second wife after divorcing her due to immorality, even though the first wife had committed to raising the second wife's children, and she rejects the husband's return to her home?

The answer

It is obligatory upon the wife to live with her husband with kindness and to obey him in matters where obedience is due, as long as he provides for her with kindness. If she refuses to obey him in bed, she is sinful and rebellious (nashiz), and her right to financial support is forfeited. The husband's return to his divorced wife is not a justification for the second wife to request a divorce, nor is it necessarily due to magic. It may be correct if the divorced wife repents and becomes righteous.
