The wife is required to treat her husband well, and she must recognize his standing and authority over her. If her adultery or relations with young men are proven, she is committing a grave sin, and she must repent and sever any relationship with a man who is not her mahram. If she repents and mends her ways, then keep her in your marriage and treat her well. But if she persists in her current state, then divorce her.
