What should a woman do who does not feel sexual desire towards her husband despite her repeated attempts, and fears the consequences of separation for her children and for herself?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your husband is a kind man who understands your problem with not desiring sexual intimacy with him. This feeling might be due to magic (sihr) or an evil eye, or perhaps because your husband does not pay attention to his appearance, as women like a man to adorn himself for them. If the problem is not resolved by addressing one of these reasons, then be patient with your kind husband and adhere to the fear of Allah. Stop thinking about other men who are not your husband, and do not rush to ask for a divorce; for patience and seeking reward from Allah expiate sins.
