Immersion in a State of Conflict
Question
Is a woman obligated to immerse (in the mikveh) even in a situation where her husband verbally abuses her and treats her very badly? The woman does not want to immerse.
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
She cannot be obligated if she is unable.
In the Zohar it is stated that there are many punishments for a woman who refrains from immersing in order to cause her husband distress.
