Does the husband have the right to reclaim the wedding jewelry set, in addition to the dowry, if the wife requests a divorce due to the husband's refusal to have intercourse with her?
A husband's intercourse with his wife, in a way that preserves her chastity and fulfills her needs, and within the limits of his ability, is one of the most emphasized rights of the wife. The husband must keep his wife chaste according to his capacity and her needs. It is not permissible for him to abandon intercourse with her when she desires it, given his ability to do so. If he insists on abandoning this obligation, the wife has the right to seek divorce. If he grants it, then fine; otherwise, she may refer the matter to the judiciary to compel him to divorce or to live together amicably. In the event that he issues the divorce, or the judge issues it, he has no right to the dowry or the bridal gift.
