Is it permissible to request a divorce for the reasons mentioned: the husband's acquaintance with a foreign woman and his attempt to marry her extra-judicially (urfi), his viewing and insistence on pornographic films, his financial negligence and preference for his family, indirectly forcing his wife to work in a mixed-gender environment, and his attempt to force his wife into forbidden sexual practices?

"A husband's engaging in a relationship with a foreign woman and his watching of pornographic films are forbidden evils, as is the prohibited 'urfi marriage. He is also sinful for his dereliction in providing for his family. It is not permissible for the husband to compel his wife to work or to prevent her from disposing of her private funds to pay off debts. Similarly, anal intercourse with his wife or inserting sex toys there is forbidden. These actions give the wife the right to seek a divorce, but patience with the husband and striving for his reform are better, especially if they have children."
