Remaining with a wife whom he has not consummated with due to weakness

Question:
Many questions have reached us, and we ask the brothers who submitted the questions on this topic for permission to present this question. It is a message from M.H.M.D. from Jizan. He says: I have been married for eight months, and I have not consummated the marriage with her due to a deficiency on my part in my physical condition. This deficiency is not due to my youth, as I am now grown, and I am still undergoing treatment. I am eager to divorce my wife, but she has not agreed to the divorce. I am fulfilling all the expenses that Allah requires of me. What is Your Eminence’s opinion on this matter: divorce, or remaining in the contract until Allah decrees a matter between us with truth?

Answer:
If she is not requesting divorce, then praise be to Allah. If the wife, despite what he said, has not had intercourse with him, and she is not requesting divorce, then there is no harm. He remains with her until Allah opens a way between them. However, if she is requesting divorce, then this is a matter for the courts.
