What is the legal ruling for a wife who left the marital home and refused to return, claiming she does not enjoy marital intimacy, and what are her legal rights consequent to divorce?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Your wife is unjust and rebellious (nashizah). She is not entitled to maintenance unless she is pregnant. You have the right to refrain from divorcing her until her rights are forfeited. Your beating and cursing her may be considered harm that permits her to request a divorce. Disputes related to movable assets, harm, custody of the daughter, and visitation are referred to the court. It is preferable for wise individuals to intervene for reconciliation or to agree on a divorce by mutual consent and the forfeiture of rights.
