What is the solution for a woman in her forties who, after 17 years of marriage, no longer feels desire for her husband and suffers from a lack of intimacy due to her preoccupation with her children's affairs and the anxieties of living abroad, which has affected her physical connection with him? Should she continue to feign harmony out of fear of God, or should she request a divorce, or should she allow him to marry again?

Our sister who posed the question, we thank you for your concern for your children's upbringing. We advise you to return to your Muslim country if possible. Otherwise, you and your husband should strive to guide your children towards religion and good morals. As for the coolness in your marital relationship, it may be due to psychological or physical reasons, among them your fear for your children, which could lead to negligence of your husband's rights, potentially ending in divorce. Therefore, balance the upbringing of your children with your husband's rights. Take care of yourself, adorn yourself for your husband, and satisfy his desire so that he may lower his gaze from others. Remember the danger of refusing his bed without a valid reason.
