I am so sorry. This happens in all types of marriages, whether they are arranged or not.

What are your options? If you and your husband are fighting, and not resolving issues, are you able to seek marital therapy/counseling for this? If you and/or your husband are not sexually attracted to each other, can you seek marital therapy for this as well? Sometimes working on the non-sexual issues can help strengthen your love (or like) toward each other, and help rekindle some physical intimacy.

What are the cultural norms for arranged marriages, as I would assume this happens frequently.

Did you two also choose each other, or did you marry each other "sight unseen"? Were you able to get to know each other first?

What are your options if you are in an arranged marriage, and one of you does not find the other sexually attractive, or realizes this is not a good match (emotionally, mentally, physically). What options do you have culturally, in your family's belief system, as well as your own well-being?

It is no one's fault, of course, as couples who DO choose each other without pre-arrangement, date and are physically intimate for years before marriage, can also realize that they are not a good match. These couples have many options, including: working things out through counseling, choosing to stay in a marriage without physical intimacy, separation or divorce, or any other myriad options.

What are your thoughts?
