Does the wife sin or is she considered disobedient if she leaves the marital home and goes to her family's house because her husband refuses to divorce her, and he lies frequently, deals with sorcerers and charlatans, and she has doubts about his perversion?

A wife is permitted to request a divorce from her husband if he frequently lies and consults sorcerers and charlatans, as his wickedness and immorality are grounds for seeking a divorce. However, as long as the woman is under the marital authority of her husband and suffers no harm by remaining in his home, she is not permitted to leave him without necessity; otherwise, she would be considered disobedient.
