Home / I do not love my husband any more, and am totally fed up with him. Is this sufficient grounds for divorce under Jewish law ? I still consent to having sex when he initiates it.

Not loving one’s spouse can be regarded as “being fed up” with him, which is grounds for a woman to divorce her husband under Jewish law. However, having intimate relations runs counter to this ground for divorce, so that a wife who is “fed up” with her husband does not have grounds for divorcing him if she continues to have intimate relations with him.
