What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the continuation of the marital relationship between a husband and his wife after the husband discovered that his wife had multiple relationships and committed adultery with someone before marriage, and her relationship with him continued by phone after marriage, knowing that her father is wanted by Interpol and she did not inform him, while the husband committed adultery after these discoveries and repented with sincere repentance? And what are the wife's rights in this case?

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 . 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.
