The answer

The wife does not sin if her aversion to meat, her disgust, and her crying, etc., are not due to a belief in its prohibition, nor are they feigned. Rather, we hope she does not sin as long as she believes it is permissible, due to Allah's saying: {Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity} [2:286], and His saying: {And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [there is blame for] what your hearts intended} [33:5]. Her heart did not intend that, and she is not able to prevent herself from being disgusted by meat. However, crying may be an exaggeration and could lead to prohibiting what Allah has made lawful, so it is not appropriate.
