A Muslim should be content with Allah's decree and face difficulties by taking lawful means. It is advisable to consult a trustworthy Muslim psychiatrist and to perform (Islamic exorcism) oneself or seek it from a righteous person. If the situation does not change, patience, piety towards Allah, and persistent supplication are recommended. Separation may be the solution if the harm to the woman continues. One must also have a good opinion of Allah and be optimistic, as the situation may change with time.
