The answer

A wife who is negligent in her duties to Allah or is unchaste should be divorced, unless she repents with a sincere repentance. The husband must fulfill his responsibilities to protect his wife from temptations and suspicious situations, and avoid private seclusion (khalwa), intermingling (ikhtilat), and unlawful gazing. Islamic law has warned against leniency in a woman's interaction with the husband's non-mahram relatives, as seclusion with them is more dangerous than seclusion with others.
