Abortion is not permissible, whether the husband divorces his wife or not, because it involves aggression and corruption, and there is no necessity for it. The husband should not divorce his wife, and his intention to divorce has no effect. We advise the couple to engage in mutual counseling and frankness, to look at the bright sides of their lives, and to overlook minor faults, for reconciliation is best. Divorce should only be resorted to if cohabitation becomes impossible, discord becomes entrenched, and all means of reconciliation have been exhausted.
