The answer

A woman has the right to seek divorce if her husband is addicted to watching pornography, abstains from sexual relations, and treats her poorly. These are sufficient grounds for seeking divorce. However, the woman should strive to advise him, remind him of Allah, encourage him to associate with righteous people, and pray for his guidance. If he does not straighten out, she should consult with the wise members of her family and weigh the harm of divorce against the harm of remaining with him, choosing the lesser of the two harms.
