The answer

The ruling on anal intercourse has preceded, stating that it permits the wife to seek divorce. In fact, she must advise her husband and warn him against this sin. If he does not respond and the woman is unable toulate, they should be separated. As for his complete abandonment of prayer, it is a greater sin, and the legal texts indicate his disbelief. Therefore, the wife must advise and warn him. If he does not respond, it is confirmed that she has the right to seek divorce, as it is not permissible for her to remain married to a disbeliever. As for birth control pills, the husband is not permitted to force his wife to take them except with her consent. She has the right not to take them, and it is preferable that this be with the husband's knowledge.
