Status of marriage if spouses don't share the same bed

Q: What is the ruling in a marriage where the husband and wife don't share rooms nor a bed but stay under the same roof? Is this permissible?

A: It is not right. They should be sharing the same bed. This is totally against the sunnat and not at all in keeping with the Islamic ethos of marital life.

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