What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a wife who speaks on the phone with a foreign young man for hours without her husband's knowledge, and what is your guidance for the couple after the husband discovers this, and he hesitates to separate out of fear for their infant daughter?
If a man believes his wife's repentance to be sincere, and no doubt arises from her, he should keep her and overlook what has passed, and be her maintainer. However, if he believes her repentance is not sincere, or if something doubtful appears from her, then he should divorce her.
