The answer is no. The woman should get rid of her erring husband.
The five conditions or circumstances under which a woman is permitted to marry again are: (1) the moral degradation of her husband, (2) his death, (3) renunciation by him of all worldly pursuits, (4) his resorting to a monastery, and (5) his impotency. The widow of a man can marry the brother of his husband if living and willing to take her as his wife, while in the alternative she may marry whomsoever she pleases. ………
