The answer

The husband is advised to reconsider his stance and not succumb to negative thoughts, and to treat his wife with kindness, as Allah Almighty says: "And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good." The wife is also advised to show affection to her husband, meet his emotional needs, and be a good companion to him. If the husband remains committed to his wife and refrains from divorce, it is best to proceed with the wedding; otherwise, it is better not to rush it, because divorce before consummation is less harmful. It is necessary to consult people of sound judgment and perform Istikhara (prayer for guidance) before making a decision.
