What is required of a wife toward her husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 7: What are the rules a wife must follow regarding her husband?
A 7: The conduct a wife must follow regarding her husband is: to obey him in what he commands of what is right, as long as it is within her capacity; to protect his honor, his wealth, and his children; to care for his family; not to refuse him when he calls her to the bed; not to leave his house without his permission; and to perform the household duties required of one of her standing. In summary, she must treat him well, deal with him in the best manner, and repel his evil with good, so that affection and intimacy are established between them; thus, their marital life will continue, with Allah’s permission. Likewise, the husband must treat his wife with kindness, as Allah the Exalted said:
And live with them in kindnessوَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ

And as Allah the Exalted said:
And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
