The answer

Allah has obligated the husband to treat his wife with kindness, and intercourse is one of the most emphasized rights a woman has over her husband. It is obligatory once every four months, and it is also said: according to her need and his ability, and this is the sounder of the two opinions. If the husband refuses to fulfill this right, the wife may seek a divorce. However, it is forbidden for her to do so if she requests it without cause.
