Is it permissible not to take back one's wife after divorcing her for revealing secrets, due to a lack of trust in her, and out of fear of future problems, given that there is a child who will be affected by the divorce?

The husband is advised to take his wife back and forgive her, and to continue counseling her and reminding her of the husband's rights and the importance of preserving household secrets. He should also provide her with a righteous environment by encouraging her to attend circles of knowledge and associate with righteous women, due to the harms of divorce, especially to the child, with the hope that the wife has realized her mistake.
