Can a month without intercourse cause divorce? How often is intercourse required in Islam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria
If a husband and wife doesn’t have intercourse for a month, will this cause divorce to occur? In Islam, how many times in a month is one ordered to have intercourse with his wife?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

Spouses not having intercourse with each other for a long period of time doesn’t have any effect on their marriage. Also, there is no limit as per Shari’ah, as to how much spouses should have intercourse with each other. According to their personal needs, they can establish marital relations as much as they want in a month.
