Should a wife who watches pornography be divorced?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Watching pornographic films is a grave evil. The repentant wife must hasten back to Allah, and the husband must advise her, forbid her from it, and warn her of Allah's punishment. Divorcing the wife for this reason is not obligatory, though it is recommended by many jurists if the wife is abusive, unchaste, or negligent in fulfilling Allah's rights.
