Forcing one’s wife into intimacy

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What is the ruling on men physically forcing their wives into intimacy? I know women should not refuse, but in the case that she does, can her husband force her given that this will harm her (physically and mentally) and make her resent him?

Bismillaah

A: If she does not have a valid excuse, it is not permissible for her to refuse. This is the right of the husband.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
