Husband not fulfilling wife's sexual needs

Question

I am a married woman 26 years of age with a baby. My husband seems least interested in having sex despite the fact that I disclosed my need to him several times. What should I do? I experience wet dreams and disclosed this to him and everyday he says today we will make love. I am all fed up. Kindly advise me.

Answer

I suggest that you speak to him. Maybe he does not realise what he is doing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: I talked to him many times but he gives excuses sometimes of stress, sometimes he says that we have a baby so this happens, sometimes his health. I again talked to him and this time he gave a weird answer that, what will I do if he dies...and that sexual needs is about nafs control. What should I do?

A: Ask him to divorce you so that you can remarry.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
