The answer

It is not permissible to treat an adult of sound mind except with his permission. Medical treatment is not obligatory unless its ترك (abandonment) poses a definite danger to the patient's life. In the mentioned case, there is no danger to the husband's life, so it is not permissible to treat him without his knowledge. If the wife cannot tolerate that, she has the right to seek separation from her husband through divorce (طلاق) or annulment (خلع).
