The answer

It is advised not to take back a wife who has committed adultery, because whoever does so is considered a "dayyūth" (pimp/cuckold), and Allah has forbidden Paradise for him. A believer has ghayrah (protective jealousy), and Allah has ghayrah. Marriage to an adulteress is not permissible except after her repentance. If the husband is still attached to her, he is a dayyūth. The brother is urged not to take her back and to seek a righteous wife for himself, with an emphasis on the husband's right to put pressure on her to forfeit her mahr (dowry), and that she is not entitled to custody of his son.
