Answer

We suggest you persist in bringing her back unto the right path. You should also make a firm commitment to the marriage and mould your life according to the dictates of Islam.

Try every possible means to maintain this marriage not only for the sake of the children but also for the sake of the parents.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
