What is the ruling regarding a wife's refusal to adorn herself for her husband and her apprehension about foreplay that leads to intercourse? And how should the husband act in this situation, given his strong desire for his wife?

There is no objection to a husband enjoying his wife without intercourse after the marriage contract and before the official consummation, including kissing and sitting with her. However, intercourse is prohibited to avoid ill suspicion and the potential for pregnancy that might result. Therefore, there is no reason for the wife to refrain from removing her hijab (definition) in front of her husband, unless she fears that it might become a pretext for intercourse. To avoid falling into what is forbidden, it is advisable to expedite the official consummation and to reduce visits if they increase desire.
