During fasting, can I give my wife a tight squeeze and a smacking kiss?

Answer

If you are able to contain your carnal desires, then it is permissible to do so. If you are unable to do so, for example, you are young or newly married and there is a strong possibility that the hugging and kissing will lead to being more intimate, then it is prohibited.
