The ruling on a woman who sees evil in her husband and approves of it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. Honorable Shaykh, if a woman sees evil in her husband and approves of it, and does not rebuke her husband and does not advise him, does she fall under the category of a *niyasa* (one who is humiliated by her husband’s actions), or is it said that she is a *tahiyyah* (one who is pleased with it)?

Answer:
It is not clear to me that she would be considered a *diyuthah* (a man who is humiliated by his wife’s actions, or a woman who is humiliated by her husband’s actions), but it is not permissible for her to remain with him; rather, she must demand separation from him. Yes.
