M3.13: Guardians Who May Marry a Virgin to a Man Without Her Consent
Guardians are of two types, those who may compel their female charges to marry someone,
and those who may not.
-1- The only guardians who may compel their charge to marry are a virgin bride's father or
father's father, compel meaning to marry her to a suitable match (def: m4) without her consent.
-2- Those who may not compel her are not entitled to marry her to someone unless she accepts
and gives her permission.
Whenever the bride is a virgin, the father or father's father may marry her to someone without her
permission, though it is recommended to ask her permission if she has reached puberty. A
virgin's silence is considered as permission.
As for the nonvirgin of sound mind, no one may marry her to another after she has reached
puberty without her express permission, no matter whether the guardian is the father, father's
father, or someone else.
Girls, until you have reached puberty, your father, or grandfather can force you to marry the man of thier
choice without your consent. Once you reach puberty, your silence is your consent. Is this clear to you?

Wives, are you aware of your sexual duty?
Chapter M5.0: Conjugal Rights
M5.1: The Wife's Marital Obligations
It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when:
(a) he asks her;
(b) at home (O: home meaning the place in which he is currently staying, even if being lent to him or rented);
(c) and she can physically endure it.
(d) (O: Another condition that should be added is that her marriage payment (mahr, def: m8) has been
received or deferred to a term not yet expired
As for when sex with her is not possible, such that having it would entail manifest harm to her, then she is
not obliged to comply.)

If she asks him to wait, she is awaited, to a maximum of three days (O: She does not ask to wait because
of not having finished her period or postnatal bleeding, for there is not physical harm entailed in her
complying as she is, though if she fears that such foreplay with him will lead to actual copulation (A: which
is unlawful under such circumstances), then she may refuse, as that is not obligatory). (n: w45 discusses
wives' other duties to husbands.)
@M5.2: The Wife's Right to Intercourse
(Imam Ghazali:) One should make love to one's wife every four nights, as is fairest, since the number of
wives one may have is four, and one may wait this long to do so, though one should make love to her more
or less than this, according to the amount she needs to remain chaste and free of want for it (N: if one is able),
since it is obligatory for a husband to enable her to keep chaste (Ihya' `ulum al-din (y39), 2.46).
2:223. Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth (have sexual relations with your wives
in any manner as long as it is in the vagina and not in the anus), when or how you will, and send
(good deeds, or ask Allh to bestow upon you pious offspring) before you for your ownselves.
And fear Allh, and know that you are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give good tidings to
the believers (O Muhammad ).
The literal meaning of tilth is field to be plowed & seeded.
