Husband wanting children without having intercourse

· 8 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I married 2 years ago. Since my husband is working in a foreign country, we don't have children. Though he returns home he refuses to stay with me, and always be nervous about his job. If he wishes, he stays with me, and he refuses to fulfil my desires and feelings, but he wants children and sometimes hurts me for not having a baby for 2 years in front of others. All my family question me, what should I do? How can I have baby without him? Are there any duas to get my husband's love? And to have a baby quickly?

Answer

The system of the world is that you have to marry and be intimate with your husband in order for you to get a legitimate child.

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