If a Woman is Given the Option to Leave an Impotent Husband, She May Choose to Remain or End the Marriage

Ibrahim says that after a year has passed, the woman will be given the choice: if she wishes, she may keep the marriage, and if she wishes, she may end it.

17318 - And (Ubaidah) (1) from Ibrahim (they said) (2): (3) She has the choice at the completion of the year; if she wishes, she may remain, and if she wishes, she may separate from him.

Hazrat Shurayh narrates that Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote a letter to me stating that an impotent man should be given a respite of one year; if he becomes capable of intercourse, then fine, otherwise give the woman the choice—if she wishes, she may maintain the marriage, and if she wishes, she may end it.
