Abstract
The topic of husband-wife ties that exists in Saudi Arabia's Hajj pilgrims has been the subject of numerous research rarely before. In addition to being considered a tabu, the government views the issue of sexuality as a private matter for the pilgrims. Then the sequence of problems can be formulated (a) How did the pilgrims in Saudi Arabia react to sexual problems? ; (b) How does the Government make room for pilgrims to address the sexuality problem? The results showed that the issue of sexuality for the pilgrims while in Saudi Arabia was a significant need to be fulfilled, so that organizers of pilgrimages at different levels needed to provide space, particularly for the pilgrimage of a sexually active age. This shows that nearly all productive-age pilgrims tackle the issue of sexuality in different ways while in Saudi Arabia, and are scarcely organized because the hajj organizer does not give them formal space.
