Question

I have sexual problems with my wife. She is now 40. She has no desire for sex. If I want to do, she refuses. What should I do in this case?

Answer

Explain to her your problem and tell her that you have a need and she should allow you to marry for the second time if she cannot manage.

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