Title: How Should a wife React to her Husband's Unfaithfulness Question: What will be the attitude of a wife towards her husband, when it was found out that he has committed zina (adultery). whether she has to do her duties towards him or to take some corrective measures?. Drkpbh India Answer: The response of a woman, whose husband has committed adultery, can vary from person to person. However, if the husband is apprehended by the law and the punishment prescribed by the Qur'an is implemented upon him, then the marriage between the woman and her husband shall be abrogated.
