A Woman's Request for Her Husband to Marry a Second Wife
A woman has been married for twenty years, is living away from her homeland, and has five children. She feels the weight of responsibility and a lack of sexual desire for her husband. Is she sinful if she asks her husband to marry a second wife for her sake?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for her to refuse her husband's request to be close to her, and it is permissible for her to ask her husband to marry another woman, and God knows best.
