The question

Should one seek a divorce from a sexually deviant husband who sends private pictures to his sisters and mentions his family members in his illicit online relationships, given the difficulty of confrontation and fear of his reaction, or is it possible to try and help him remotely, knowing that these relationships are intermittent?

The answer

Our advice to you is to strive to reform your husband and help him repent from this evil through indirect means, such as encouraging him to be upright, to maintain prayer, to associate with righteous people, to listen to sermons, and to consult specialists, while diligently supplicating for him. If he repents, then conceal his fault, live with him amicably, and beware of spying. However, if he does not repent and persists in his deviation and negligence of your rights, then there is no blame upon you for seeking separation from him through divorce or khul'.
