What would you do if your partner wasn’t interested in the intimate side of the relationship? Would you stay with them or is it reason for divorce or remarriage (for men)?
And to throw a wrench in the scenario, what if the inability to have a physical relationship was due to an incurable illness that afflicted your partner AFTER the couple married?

I'd jump off a cliff

On serious note, a person I know very well recently divorced because of same reason. Complex story but in this case HE was not much interested in intimate/physical relationship. Doctors suggested irregular testosterone levels but girl decided to move on. (they have 1 kid too)

Divorce or hookers. One or the other.

While it was inspired by CM's thread, I actually know of two real life situations that mirror the scenario.
1) Guy was impotent at time of marriage and his family obviously lied to the girl's family. She divorced him.
2) Guy was diagnosed with prostate cancer and rendered impotent afterwards (he was in his late 50s).
So this being a real situation or possibility, how would people deal with it?
Re: Platonic married relationship...
I don't think it should be reason for divorce, marriage is not just about being intimate with someone, there's also other important factors make marriage work and successful.
Re: Platonic married relationship...
Hypothetical question , hypothetical answer.
The ideal thing to do will be to take a bin bas, meaning they both turn into monks and go live in jungle happily ever after.
Serious answer will be both of them have the right to decide what is best under the circumstances.
It is not a fun question , it is pretty serious scenario , may Allah save us all from such a conundrum of life. Ameen.

Re: Platonic married relationship...
I dont think I would divorce him but would help him get the appropriate help needed, since there could be a health issue or something along those lines.

Re: Platonic married relationship...
intimacy is a very important part of a married relationship. most marriages can bear most diversities but lack of intimacy is a huge issue. i believe the marriage would be very unhappy if there was lack of intimacy.
Re: Platonic married relationship…
are these violent fights or do the two people disrespect each other? i just never understood how couples do that, they have the most horrid fights, doing and saying the most god awful stuff to each other and then having great sex, how is that even possible? do they turn off their minds for that hour or two(yes hopefully it isn’t just a few minutes) and go about it like there were no horrible words said to each other. these volatile relationships are always a mystery to me. madonna and guy had that type of relationship but it worked for them i guess.
