Re: How hard..
That is why like the stance of Fiqah a Jafaria on Mut’a , that way if you are away from your loving caring wife for long period you can have a temporary nikah , so you do not miss the love and care of your permanent wife back home.
Now don’t ask me what should a woman do ? I do not know what is Fiqh a jararia’ s or for that matter any other Islamic madhab’s stance on it.
