The answer

A husband is permitted to divorce his wife who is negligent in observing hijab, goes out immodestly adorned, and disobeys him in what is right. Indeed, divorcing her may even be recommended if means of reconciliation fail, and it could even be obligatory. Her disobedience to him, such as going out without his permission or cursing him, is considered "nushuz" (rebellion). If the wife does not abandon this rebellion, the husband has the right to refrain from divorcing her until she relinquishes some of his rights to him.
