The ruling on a husband boycotting his wife in the bed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, this questioner says: A woman whose husband has boycotted her in the bed and in the house for four years; is she considered divorced?

Answer:
No, boycotting a person, if it has a reason, such as her marital defiance or her disobedience in what is her right toward him, is a boycott with a valid reason, and it is not a divorce; rather, it is a boycott to discipline her. “Boycott them in their beds”
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike themوَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
. So if she persists in violating her husband’s right, he takes these measures with her, one of which is boycotting her, until she stops her defiance and stops preventing her husband from his right. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
