What is the Sharia ruling on a wife's intention to use birth control pills without informing her husband, given that she intensely dislikes intimacy with him to the point of aversion and does not desire a divorce?
You will be rewarded for enduring your husband and for your patience with him, for in the Hadith: "If a woman prays her five [prayers], fasts her month [Ramadan], guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she may enter Paradise through any of its gates she wishes." You should strive to remove whatever provokes your husband's aversion and be frank with him about it. There is no harm in not informing him about taking birth control pills for other health reasons, if he does not object to their use and if they prevent pregnancy temporarily and not permanently, especially since he is using something that prevents pregnancy.
