ANSWER: 

The husband is sinful for paying a mortgage as those who deal in interest are cursed by Allah.
This is not a normal marriage as it is the husbands job to financially support this wife and kids.
She is not sinful for whatever negative feelings she has in her heart against him as long as she does
not utter or act upon them. If he’s still a good Muslim and prays, she should try to work on her marriage
and serve him to the best of her ability.

If not having a marital relationship is something mutual, this is permissible. But if she needs it and he is
not offering it, this is grounds for divorce. 

 

If a husband does not keep any kind of marital relationship with wife but also doesn’t want to divorce. He just stays in the same house and pays only the mortgage, and wife pays for food and all other bills. Is wife sinner as she can’t respect him or serve him per Islam commands?
