The answer

The husband is obligated to fear Allah and to have good intentions. Your marriage is valid as long as the conditions for the validity of marriage are met. It is forbidden for the husband to establish relationships or correspondence with foreign women, especially if it includes obscene speech. The wife should be frank with her husband and advise him, or seek the intervention of good people. If the husband cannot forget his fiancée, he is permitted to marry her if she is a Muslim or a Woman of the Book, along with repenting from forbidden relationships. The wife should be patient and not rush into separation, for perhaps her remaining will be a cause for his guidance. If he insists on separation and persists in the unlawful, then there should be no sorrow over him.
