Does a divorce oath take effect if a son is struck against the wife's will, or if the husband goes to work despite having sworn not to, and does the wife become forbidden to her husband because of what has been mentioned?

A suspended divorce counts as two divorces if the prohibited act is repeated twice, along with the oath of divorce. A husband's prohibition (tahrim) is neither a divorce nor a Dhihar. The more cautious approach is to offer an expiation for an oath (kaffarat ). It is advised to live with your husband in kindness and counsel him to repent from drugs. If he does not repent, then it is preferable to separate from him through divorce or khul'.
