The Wife's Refusal to Her Husband Due to Her Lack of Desire to Continue the Marriage

Question
A woman is suffering from ongoing marital disputes for many years and sees separation as the most appropriate solution. However, the husband refuses the idea of separation except under one condition, which is to escalate the intensity of the conflict between them. The wife does not want to escalate due to the bond of affection between spouses and for the sake of their children, so they are not mocked for their father. In this situation, she cannot continue in the marital life. Is she sinful if she denies herself to her husband?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for her to deny herself to her husband, and in this case, it is appropriate for the people of virtue and righteousness to intervene to clarify the matter and resolve the issue, and God knows best.
