The answer

If a wife commits immoral acts, then separation from her is better. It is not permissible to accuse a relative of practicing sorcery without proof, for "avoid much assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin." (Quran 49:12) Searching into a wife's past is forbidden spying, but seeking consultation before marriage is permissible out of necessity. Usury (riba) is a grave sin, and one must repent from it and not return to it. It is not obligatory to return the excess amount unless under duress.
