Abstaining from Marital Relations
My sister married against her will to please her family. For seven years, she has not accepted marital relations due to her husband's harsh treatment towards her, despite discussing this issue with him. Is it permissible for her to live with him without a marital relationship between them?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is forbidden for her to refrain from fulfilling marital rights, and she must rethink the matter correctly. She is required to improve her treatment of her husband, and God knows best.
