The answer

Divorcing a wife who engages in illicit phone relationships is permissible; in fact, it is recommended, and it may become obligatory if the woman persists in these relationships and the husband fears she will corrupt his marital bed, due to the deficiency this causes in his religious commitment, and because a man cannot be sure she won't corrupt his marital bed. As for killing, it is impermissible, for it is one of the gravest sins. If the wife repents sincerely and becomes upright, it is recommended for the husband to keep her, conceal her faults, and live with her honorably, for repentance expunges what came before it.
