The answer

If a man divorces his wife, or a judge rules for divorce, then his conjugal relations with her become unlawful and constitute an abomination. However, if he has not divorced her and a judge has not ruled for divorce, she remains his wife, but his conjugal relations with her in front of their children are impermissible. Photographing her naked, threatening to publish the photos, and severely beating her are reprehensible and forbidden acts. The woman must strive to free herself from this injustice by raising her case with Islamic centers or with anyone capable of delivering her from injustice and sin.
