If the husband insists on abandoning prayer and committing grave sins, and the wife sees that life with him is impossible, she has the right to seek divorce and refer her case to the Sharia courts, while ensuring he receives his marital rights during this period. It is advisable to be patient with him, try to counsel him, and supplicate for his guidance.
