A husband must treat his wife kindly and fulfill her need for chastity to the best of his ability. This is one of her most emphasized rights upon him, and he is not permitted to prevent her from procreation or from seeking necessary treatment for it. If the husband insists on preventing his wife from her right to procreation and marital relations, she has the right to seek divorce or khul'. Both spouses are advised to communicate and treat each other kindly.
