The answer

If the husband's perversion is requesting unlawful intercourse, such as anal sex, then she is not permitted to obey him. Instead, she must advise him, warn him, and use permissible means to persuade him towards what is lawful. If he insists, she should complain about him to a judge and seek separation from him, even if it necessitates khul' (a wife's right to divorce by returning the dowry). However, if his perversion does not involve forcing her into something forbidden, then she must advise him, strive for his guidance, and help him achieve chastity. This does not make it unlawful for her to live with him or to have marital relations with him in a permissible way.
