The answer

It is the husband's right to be absent from his wife for six months or less without her permission. He must be just among his wives in termsing of lodging and sustenance, and provide a safe place for his wife. If he does that, the wife is not entitled to seek divorce unless she is harmed by his absence. However, divorce may not be in her best interest due to her special circumstances and the status of a divorced woman in society.
