The answer

A woman is not permitted to seek a divorce without a legitimate Shar'i (Islamic legal) justification. The husband's transgression (fisq) and harm (idrar) towards his wife are considered valid justifications. However, it is not advisable to hasten in seeking a divorce. Patience with the husband in his current state might be better, and the husband might repent through sincere advice.
