The answer

The husband's action is ugly and forbidden, and it does not stem from a sound person. It is a form of pimping (dayatha) and a loss of ghīra (protective jealousy), in accordance with the hadith: "Indeed, among the worst people in rank before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife, and she goes to him, then he divulges her secret."

Despite the ugliness of this act, the door to repentance is open. If the husband shows genuine repentance and truly severs his relationship with his corrupt friends, then the wife should be patient with him and give him a chance, provided she ensures that he does not photograph her or keep her pictures, and she feels secure from his deviance.

However, if he returns to these conversations or watching pornographic clips, she should seek a divorce without hesitation.
