If you had intercourse with your wife before she asked you to, and you broke your oath, then your intention behind the prohibition is considered: If you intended divorce, it is a divorce. If you intended ẓihār, it is ẓihār. If you intended ʾīlāʾ, it is ʾīlāʾ. If you intended an oath, then an expiation for an oath is binding upon you. If you did not intend anything, then an expiation for an oath is also binding upon you. And you must advise your wife, as she is sinful for inciting the prohibition of her intercourse, and remind her of the husband's rights.
