Qualities to look for in a husband are: 1- He should be one who adheres to the laws and teachings of Islam. 2- He should come from a good and a known family. 3- It is good if he has sufficient wealth to avoid needing to ask others. 4- He should be kind and gentle. 5- It is good if he is of sound body and health, and not sterile. 6- He should have knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah. It is permissible for the woman to look at the man who comes to propose marriage, and for him to look at her.

If a man has anal sex with his wife, she is not considered to be divorced as many people think, because there is no Shar`i evidence at all that indicates this. But the scholars said that if a man habitually does this, his wife has the right to ask for a divorce. The wife has to resist this evil action and remind her husband about Allah and about the punishment for transgressing the limits set by Allah.
