What is the solution for dealing with obsessive doubts about one's husband, which lead to seeking a divorce, despite the wife's knowledge of her husband's good character and religious devotion, and this after a previous lie from the husband?
The solution to the problem lies in returning to Allah and engaging in His obedience and remembrance. The husband's lie to his wife to mend the situation is permissible in Islamic law because it serves a benefit, so there is no need to investigate its truthfulness. The wife must fear Allah, have a good opinion of her husband, help him in obedience, remember his rights upon her, repent from her harshness, and open a new page full of love and respect.
