The answer

It is permissible for spouses to postpone childbearing for a specific period for a legitimate interest. The husband must ensure his wife's chastity and observe the etiquette of intercourse. If the spouses agree at the time of the marriage contract to postpone childbearing, fulfilling this agreement is obligatory. After that, it is not permissible for the wife to prevent her husband from having children. A wife preventing childbearing without a legitimate reason is considered nushuz (disobedience), and it has its regulations. Understanding between spouses is necessary to achieve family stability. A divorced woman is entitled to her rights unless she waives some of them, and it is forbidden for a woman to seek divorce without a legitimate reason.
