Divorcing the wife who has a secret lover
My wife talks with a strange man over the phone. She even bought him a present on which she wrote "I love you." Am I permitted to divorce her for this reason?
First of all, we advise you to do your best in advising your wife and warning her against this action. You should clarify for her that such a matter is prohibited under Sharee‘ah and disapproved by sound nature. It is absolutely unacceptable for a Muslim woman to treat a strange man in this disgraceful manner, particularly when she is married. Allaah The Almighty Says (what mean): { If she showed repentance and refrained from this, there is no harm if you resume your marital life with her. On the other hand, if she refused to respond, in this case it is permissible for you to divorce her, even, it is recommended for you to do this, as long as you are unable to stop her. Discussing the types of divorce, Allaah Knows best.
