You say Allah does not like those who alter their looks, But how comes women can stop having children or not have them at all just to keep her figure nice for her husband when having a kid is such a big issue in Islam. so what is wrong with plucking bushy eyebrows just to look beautiful for your husband. Not having kids is a major step, becasue you wont be able to pass on knowledge to the younger generation, nor get a chance to know what its like to be parents, but plucking eyebrows is seen so harmful if you do it for your husband.what if the husband runs away from the wife who is put off completely by her eyeborws(cos they can make a women look manly), should she still not pluck?Please answer according the the question asked and specifically.

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Your understanding that a woman can practice birth control to maintain her beauty and shape for her husband is incorrect. Kindly refer to Contraceptions - below

As regards plucking eye brows, that is prohibited by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The above are general rulings and certainly does not mean that Shari'ah does not take into cognisance circumstances.

Q: Are contraceptions permissible?
A: Contraception (Azl) is permissible on a limited scale for valid reasons - reasons considered by the Shariáh to be valid. The circumstances which will permit reversible and permanent contraception differ.
Reversible contraception: Among the reasons accepted by the Shariáh as valid for practising reversible contraception are: a) Physical weakness.b) Sickness.c) The wife maintaining her beauty or figure for the sake of her husband. d) The couple being on a journey or in a distant land. e) Adverse political conditions, e.g. children are forcibly separated from their parents as is advocated by communism; etc. f) The couple decide to separate in the near future. g) The wife is an immoral person.
There are valid grounds for practising reversible contraception. Poverty or the fear of poverty are not valid reasons for contraception. It is not permissible to practice contraception on account of a fear of not being able to provide for a large family. Such a fear is an attribute of non-Muslims. According to the Qurãn Shareef: 'There is not a living creature, but its sustenance is the responsibility of Allah.' Similarly desire to curb sexual desire which may stem out of piety is not a lawful ground for contraception. If practised for any reason which is unlawful in Islam, then contraception will likewise be unlawful, e.g. for indulgence in illicit sex. Permanent contraception is permissible only if the woman's life is in danger or her health is seriously threatened.
Hadhrat Abu Saéed Khudhry (RA) reports that one person asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) about Azal (Coitus Interruptus). Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) replied, 'When Allah Taãla intends creating a child, nothing can stop him.' (Mishkãt pg. 275; Qadeemi)
