Abstract:  
Background and Aim: Issues related to the health of the couple play an important role in realizing the wife's right to enjoy the right to meet sexual needs. According to the medical, jurisprudential and legal considerations in the expression of examples of sexual health, the present research is trying to investigate the issue of the sexual health of the couple, the realization of the difficulty and embarrassment of the wife.
Method: This article is descriptive and analytical and the tools used are library and documents.
Ethical Considerations: In compiling and writing this article, ethical principles and standards, including citation and trustworthiness, have been observed.
Results: Based on the rule of difficulty and embarrassment and in line with medical custom, if the couple is suffering from an incurable, contagious disease and creates an obstacle for the fulfillment of the sexual needs of the wife, he reserves the right for him to have sexual health. Avoid the couple. Because cases of the husband's ill health are examples of hardship and embarrassment for the wife. In addition, the sexual weakness and impotence of the couple, for whatever reason, should not exceed the right of the woman to fulfill her needs for more than four months.
Conclusion: Although husband's illness and wife's sexual needs are not fulfilled, it is considered as a violation of the woman's right to satisfy her sexual needs, but it does not justify her disobedience in other cases. Rather, the wife can refrain from intercourse with the husband, taking into account the considerations and the type of illness of the husband. This recommendation is mentioned both in jurisprudence and medical sources and in Article 1127 of the Civil Code.
