I heard the Hadith that says the angels curse the woman who denies her husband is actually about using sex as a means of manipulating the husband. Is that true? What is the context? In what ways is it ok to deny a husband sex so long as it is not excessive or manipulative?","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"The Ḥadīth is relevant only to women who decline without a valid justification or employ it for manipulation, punishment, revenge, etc. Legitimate reasons include physical illness, menstruation, fatigue, fear for safety or health. Concerning emotional strain, I'm not sure what the questioner intends by it. However, mere strain within the marriage does not constitute a valid reason to deny each other conjugal rights.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:23.339Z"}
