How can feelings of non-acceptance and aversion towards one's husband be overcome, especially with the continuous rejection of the marital relationship, despite his kindness and good character?
The wife is advised to supplicate and entreat Allah to mend the relationship between her and her husband. Marital life does not depend solely on love; it may be built upon other good aspects in the husband, and love may develop later. The wife has the right to seek khul' from her husband if she cannot bear him and fulfill his rights, but she does not have the right to deny him his marital rights merely because she does not love him. The aversion might be due to an evil eye or sorcery, in which case one should be diligent with Ruqyah Shari'ah.
