The answer

"The definition of 'dayouth' (cuckold) has been previously established. The stance towards him involves denouncing him and anyone among his family or close relatives who condones his sin. The type of denunciation varies according to the denouncer's ability. If one is capable of denouncing with their hand, they must change the evil with their hand. Otherwise, they have no option but to offer advice and reminders. They may also inform those capable of bringing about change, as long as it does not lead to a greater harm. If one fulfills what is required of them in this regard, they will not be held accountable thereafter for what the 'dayouth' does."
