Suara.com – Ria Ricis' decision to sue her husband, Teuku Ryan for divorce, was quite surprising to the public. Although, rumors of a rift in their household have emerged in recent months.
Following this news, Teuku Ryan's brother-in-law, Ori Vitrio Abdullah alias Rio, also opened his voice regarding their divorce.

Okki Setiana Dewi's husband said that one of the reasons his brother-in-law sued Ryan for divorce was because the man from Aceh had not provided for Ria Ricis for 18 months.
“It's already busy on social media, he hasn't been touched from birth until now, so what if he gets married? Right, Ricis has already given him the code,” said Rio, quoting ANTV's Folbec program, Thursday (1/2/2024).
Rio's statement made the public assume that Teuku Ryan had not had intimate relations with Ria Ricis since giving birth to Moana in July 2022.
However, Teuku Ryan has denied these accusations. He even reminded Rio that he shouldn't throw slander, especially since he understands religion.
If it is true that Teuku Ryan did not 'touch' Ria Ricis for that long, what is the law in Islam?

There are many differences of opinion regarding the law of not having sex between husband and wife for a long time. However, most believe it is not permitted in Islam.
The reason is, having a relationship between husband and wife is a mental livelihood that must be carried out as stated in Surah Al Baqarah verse 222.
“When they have become pure, then join them in the place that God has commanded you. Indeed, God loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves.”
The cleric Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyah (rahimullah) in the book Majmu' Al Fatawa said that it is obligatory for a husband to have intimate relations with his wife.
“It is obligatory for husbands to have intimate relations with their wives in a virtuous manner. And 'inner support' is more obligatory for husbands than subsistence in the form of food. And the level of obligation to have sex with one's wife, some scholars say: at least once a month. Some scholars say: according to the wife's needs and the husband's abilities. Like providing food, it is also in accordance with the wife's needs and the husband's abilities. “This is a more correct opinion,” said Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah's fatwa, citing the Muslimah.or.id page.
Looking at the NU Online page, it is appropriate for a husband to have sex with his wife with all seriousness, show his strength and have sex with her in a good way.
