Yes.

It is as if his wife is a defiant, immodest woman.

Immodest.

Yes, and she has.
The Shaykh:
He should advise her and require her to wear the hijab, because she is his wife and obedience to him is obligatory upon her; he is her guardian and her caretaker. He should require her to wear the hijab and not divorce her. He should not divorce her; he should require her to wear the hijab. If she refuses and persists in her defiance, he should divorce her at that time.
