Is it permissible for a wife to inform her psychiatrist of details concerning her life and marital relationship for the purpose of seeking advice and treatment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

You should improve your treatment of your wife with kindness, following the example of the Messenger of Allah. If you adopt this approach, you might not need to visit a doctor. It is not permissible for the wife to reveal the secrets of marital life to a doctor except to the extent of need. It is also not permissible for her to go to a male doctor if a female doctor is available. If she does go to him, her husband, a mahram, or a trustworthy, reliable woman must accompany her.
