Is it permissible to continue the marriage with a man who neglected his family and married another without regard for the rights of the first wife, is not religiously committed, has become ill-mannered, betrays trust, and changes his statements?

It is advisable to live together amicably and not hasten to seek divorce, as it is not a trivial matter. The husband marrying another woman is not an injustice. The husband should be advised to avoid forbidden things and music, commanded to ensure his wife wears the hijab, and to maintain congregational prayers. It is also important to cooperate with him in obeying Allah, encourage him to associate with righteous people, and supplicate for his guidance.
