Husband not fulfilling his wife's marital needs

Q: If a wife lives with her husband and takes care of her, but doees not fulfil her marital needs. What should she do? How long should she bear this attitude? What is the solution from an Islamic point of view?

A: If he is not fulfilling her marital needs then she should ask her elders to intervene, and if he still does not show interest then she may request him for a separation and divorce.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
