What is the ruling regarding a woman who repented from watching pornography and masturbating, but then returned to them repeatedly, and despair prevents her from supplicating for a righteous husband, and she is unemployed and does not leave the house?

You must hasten to repent to Allah from masturbation and forbidden glances. Sadness and regret are signs of sincerity and good, so you must turn to Allah, for sincere repentance is accepted no matter how many times the sin is committed. To overcome lust for those who cannot marry, it is advised to fast, guard one's hearing and sight, stay away from places of temptation, and occupy one's time with beneficial deeds. Honoring one's parents is a great duty regardless of their state, and it is one of the most obligatory duties, while disobeying them is one of the gravest sins.
