Does a wife sin by preventing her husband from satisfying his sexual desire in ways other than vaginal intercourse, due to her not deriving pleasure and his not approaching her in the natural place, and is she entitled to seek a divorce?
It is permissible for a husband to enjoy his wife as he wishes, provided he avoids intercourse during menstruation and anal sex. It is not permissible for a wife to prevent her husband from what is lawful for him concerning her, nor is it permissible to obey him in what is forbidden.
It is not permissible for a husband to refrain from having intercourse with his wife without a legitimate religious excuse. The wife should discuss with her husband to understand the reason for his abstinence and help him resolve it. If he insists on not having intercourse, she has the right to request a divorce. If there is an impediment, such as impotence, she has the option to annul the marriage, but the matter must be brought before a judge to confirm the impotence and defer it for one year.
