Is it permissible for the wife to demand the power to divorce herself, knowing that she left the marital home without her husband's consent and had previously deprived him of his children?

The wife's departure from her husband's home without his permission and without a valid excuse is forbidden and constitutes nushooz (disobedience), and she has no right to stipulate any condition for her return to the home. The husband's preventing her from seeing her children is a reprehensible act and an injustice, for he has the right to see them. It is recommended that wise individuals from the families of both spouses sit together to strive for reconciliation between them.
