A husband saying to his wife, "O my mother," as a form of playfulness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people say to their wives, "O my mother," or "O my authority," or a woman says to her husband, "O my son," as a form of renewal and playfulness.

Answer:
It is disliked. The scholars say that it is disliked for a man to address his wife with these terms, "O my mother" or "O my sister," saying that this is a form of honor, or for her to say, "O my father" or "O my brother," because this resembles zihar (likening one's wife to a forbidden relative), so it is considered among the disliked expressions. Yes.
