The husband's action of turning his wife away from the and removing her headscarf during prayer is an ugly and forbidden act, indicating his weak faith, because it contradicts the sanctity and reverence of prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade any action that distracts the worshipper, even if it is an act of obedience, such as raising one's voice with the Quran. So how about an overt act of disobedience? The wife should advise her husband and avoid what harms him.
