Encouraging one's wife to have more children
Question
I am married for 16 years. I am 43 years old and my wife is 38 Years old. We have a son of 13 Years Old. My wife does not want more children. However our relation is otherwise normal. Should I force her for more kids? If I would not force her, will I be sinner? Please suggest.
Answer
It is better that you encourage her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
