The answer

The wife's act of conversing with a young man and communicating with him is a form of betrayal, as she is entrusted with her husband's honor. The young man's act of corrupting her against her husband is among the major sins. The husband has the right to refuse divorcing her until she forfeits her dower to him, or part of it.
