What the wife feels is not considered an illness that necessitates a choice for the husband because she became pregnant and gave birth. The illness that necessitates a choice is that which prevents intercourse or its pleasure, as stated in Hashiyat al-Adawi and Sharh Mayarah al-Fassi. It is advised to keep the wife and strive to treat the illness.
