The obligation of each spouse toward the other

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner also asks, saying: What is the obligation of each spouse toward the other?

Answer:
It is obligatory for each of the husband and wife to treat the other with kindness. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said, “And live with them in kindness,” and He 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].وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
Each of them treats the other with kindness, meaning that he fulfills the rights he owes her. So the husband fulfills the rights of the wife that Allah has made obligatory upon him, and the wife fulfills the rights of the husband that Allah has made obligatory upon her. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh
