Onah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laws of Onah are the obligation of a man to provide conjugal rights to his wife under Jewish Law, representing the attempt by Judaism to take into account the realities of biological needs while harnessing them under a sociably acceptable institution, that of Jewish Marriage.
