Is it permissible for a woman to seek divorce from her husband who does not pray, severs ties of kinship, watches pornographic films, does not grant her conjugal rights or financial support, and speaks to other women, especially after her repentance from the sins she committed because of him?

The questioner is advised to make a final attempt to reform her husband. If he does not respond, then it is preferable to seek a divorce from him, as there is no good in remaining with a man who abandons prayer and severs ties with his mother. Furthermore, the questioner is not obligated to provide any financial support, as all expenses are solely incumbent upon the husband.
