Is the wife entitled to seek divorce for harm (ḍarar) due to her husband's snoring and indifference, in addition to his not giving her conjugal rights unless she asks for them, coupled with her fear of falling into temptation (fitna)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The husband is not to blame for snoring during sleep because he does not control it, but he should seek treatment for it. The wife's right to conjugal relations is among the most emphasized rights, and the husband must fulfill her needs to the extent of her desire and his capacity. If the husband does not meet her needs and she fears falling into temptation, she has the right to seek divorce or khul'. It is preferable to speak frankly with the husband about the matter and express her desire to him. If the objective is not achieved, she can then resort to the aforementioned options.
