The answer

The wife's insult of her husband and his family and her harming them are major sins. Likewise, her refusal to share her husband's bed is a grave sin that incurs the curse of the angels. We advise you to repeatedly counsel your wife with encouragement and deterrence, and remind her of the warning against disobeying her husband. If that does not work, then forsake her in bed. If she still does not desist, then strike her with a non-injurious blow if you believe it will be effective. If none of this works, then you are not to blame for divorcing her. However, if you are patient with her, there might be good in it, especially if divorcing her would scatter the children.
