The answer

The woman is considered disobedient (nashiz) by what she has done and is not entitled to maintenance (nafaqah) or housing (sukna). The husband has the right to refrain from divorcing her until she returns to him what he gave her of the dowry (mahr) and other things. She has no rights after divorce if she persists in her disobedience and abandonment of his obedience.
