What is the ruling of Islam on a wife who asks her husband to engage in anal sex with her, claiming she had a wet dream about a young man doing that to her? Should the husband stay with her or divorce her? And is there a connection between wet dreams and reality?

Anal intercourse is among the prohibited acts. As for what the wife saw in her dream, there is no sin upon her for it. However, she should not have disclosed it to avoid raising suspicions. There is no justification for divorce; rather, she should be advised and reminded.
