The answer

It is permissible to separate a couple if the judge ascertains that marital cohabitation is impossible and that the wife is harmed by her husband's sexual, economic, and social abandonment. The judge assesses the matter based on the circumstances and conditions of each case, and the husband's absence does not affect the annulment proceedings.
