The answer

The action you took—which is taking the woman out of Iraq, separating her from her two children and her husband, and her traveling for Hajj without a and without her husband's permission—is incorrect, and you incur sin for it. You must repent and seek forgiveness. A wife's departure from her home is not permissible except with her husband's permission, and similarly, it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. If she suffers harm from her husband, she should refer her case to the judge.
