Question:
This is a woman asking, and she says: Her husband watches forbidden and pornographic films. She says: I called him to repent and repeated this matter to him until I came to hate him. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to request khul' in this situation?
Answer:
Yes, if he has not repented from it and continues with it, this is considered a danger to his honor and to your honor and to the honor of [the family]. So if you seek separation from him through the judge, and the judge is the one who takes charge of this, [it is left] to the judge. Yes.
