The question

What is the ruling of the Sharia on a dispute between a husband and wife that occurred in their first month, where the wife claims the husband is incapable of conjugal relations despite her pregnancy by him, and medical examinations have proven her claim false, and now she is demanding a divorce along with the return of all her rights, including furniture, mahr, and jewelry?

The answer

A husband is not obliged to divorce his wife, and a judge is not permitted to compel him to divorce her unless harm or a defect that allows the woman to annul the marriage is proven, such as 'annat (impotence) before cohabitation. However, if he has cohabited with her once, she no longer has the option [to annul] if 'annat occurs thereafter. The husband may agree to divorce in exchange for the wife returning what he gave her or by agreeing upon a compensation.
