Question

My wife health condition is very poor. I thought her health condition will improve when my only son will leave taking breast milk. But no improvement also she almost always try to avoid when I call for bed. I have spent huge money for her on nutritional foods but she is careless & less or no interest in copulation.
Several times I have sitted with her regarding this issue but she become silent on this issue & not answer my questions.
Now please suggest me whether I'll divorce her. Second marriage is almost impossible for me in terms of financial matters. Im on tension please suggest solutions

The answer to your question is as follows:

The woman must always obey her husband as much as possible, and try never to avoid when he calls for bed. If a woman is really sick then you should arrange a better treatment for her. How can you obligate her beyond her capacity if she is not in good health? You should try your level best to maintain your married life with good conduct. If you are still not able to overcome on your desire you can keep fast to control your passion. Divorce is not a solution for the problems.
