Question

I just got married in need to know if I foreplay with my wife such as sucking her body and kisses. Do I need to take a bath or just wudhu will be fine?

Answer

If there was no penetration and no ejaculation then you will not need to take a bath. Wudhu is sufficient.

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