Separation from Husband Due to His Ethnicity

Question
A woman separated from her husband because he is Ethiopian, knowing that she had a daughter with him. Is this permissible, and what does Ethiopian mean?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The Ahbash follow Islam according to the understanding of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Habashi, and it is our duty to understand Islam according to the recognized jurisprudential and theological schools. And God knows best.
