If a husband accuses his wife or daughters of indecency without right, he commits a major sin. The wife has the right to demand the implementation of the hadd punishment for slander against him, unless he produces four witnesses or performs li'an with her, or she may seek a divorce due to his transgression. He should be advised and reminded of Allah, and help should be sought from wise relatives. Patience is necessary, as is praying for his guidance and seeking deliverance from this affliction. Daughters must demonstrate their chastity and be diligent in wearing the hijab.
