The ruling on a settlement that leaves the wife in a suspended state by writing a document

Question:
He says: A woman requested a divorce from her husband, but he refused to divorce her. So some of their friends intervened and settled the matter between them by writing a document stating that she would remain under his guardianship for five years, but he would not be allowed to approach her or see her, and she would have no right to financial maintenance from him. The justifications for this document in avoiding divorce were the continuation of the marriage and the embarrassment of people’s talk. Is this settlement appropriate? And what is your guidance for them?

Answer:
This is a dispute between a wife that is referred to the court, and the judge looks into this settlement. I do not intervene in disputes between people, because we refer them to the courts. If there is a problem with this settlement, they should consult the judge. Yes.
