Is it forbidden for a wife to reveal to her mother and female relatives her husband's secret regarding his sexual coldness?
If your conversation with your two sisters about your husband is for the purpose of jesting and disclosing marital secrets, then it is forbidden, and you must repent from it. However, if it is for consultation, there is no objection to it, based on Al-Nawawi's saying: "Among the benefits of this is the permissibility of mentioning a person with what he dislikes if it is for inquiry, complaint, and the like." It is not permissible for the husband to abandon you in bed except for a legitimate reason, and you have the right to demand your lawful right. If he is unable and you are harmed, you have the right to seek divorce or khulʿ. Scholars differed on the required frequency of intercourse, and the preponderant opinion is that it depends on the wife's need and the husband's ability. We also emphasize the importance of the wife taking care of herself and adorning herself for her husband, as his aversion might be due to her lack of attention.
