Does a woman have the right to postpone childbearing due to her numerous marital problems and her fear of her husband, who frequently swears to divorce her?
A woman is permitted to take contraception without her husband's knowledge if he frequently swears by divorce and she anticipates their separation. This is to avert harm from herself and her children. It is understood that procreation is a shared right of both spouses, and temporary control over it is permissible when there is a legitimate need, through consultation and mutual consent, provided it does not result in harm or aggression towards an existing pregnancy, and that the method used is lawful. The wife must also realize the consequences of her husband swearing by divorce and strive to reconcile their relationship.
