What is the ruling on a wife swearing to make her husband unlawful to her if he recommits adultery, and what is the ruling on their daughter born after this oath, and what is the ruling on the husband's false oath that he did not commit adultery, out of fear for his family?
Sodomy is one of the grave sins and immoralities. The perpetrator must hasten to repent, which involves abstaining from the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, while concealing their own wrongdoing. The wife's statement that she is forbidden to him if he commits this immorality does not affect the marital bond or the lineage of the daughter. Regarding his breaking of the oath not to return to it: if his oath was by Allah, then he must offer expiation for breaking an oath. If it was by divorce, then the preponderant opinion among us is that the divorce takes place. If it was by declaring something forbidden (), then it depends on his intention.
