Is a man who does not feel physical attraction to his wife, with whom he has contracted marriage but not yet consummated it, sinful if he divorces her without a clear reason other than his lack of appreciation for her beauty, or should he complete the marriage hoping that love will come afterward, especially with his suspicion that he has been afflicted by magic which has affected his feelings and desire for marriage?

It is advisable to repel the whispers of magic and adhere to the prescribed remembrances (adhkar), and not to accuse the innocent. The case can be presented to a ruqya practitioner or a psychiatrist. As for divorce before consummation due to dissatisfaction with beauty, it is disliked () if it leads to prioritizing beauty over religious commitment. It is preferable to complete the marriage due to the reward it entails and to avoid problems.
