Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

If your marriage was completed fulfilling all the conditions that are compulsory for a marriage to be valid Islamicly then you have to try your best to fix your marital problem. The conditions of a marriage are mentioned in Fatwa 90410.

If living together and continuing this marriage becomes impossible then you may seek to obtain Khul' from him.

The details are mentioned in Fataawa 88292, 88495 and 89039.

Allaah Knows best.
