Question:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Is the saying of Allah the Exalted, (Woe to the defrauders), specific to what concerns buying and selling, or does it include one who prefers one wife over another, or distinguishes some students over others?
Answer:
It encompasses all rights; all rights fall under this. The husband does not demand his rights from his wife, nor does he deny her rights or deprive her of them. He gives what is due to her and takes what is his, fulfilling what is upon him.[Al-Baqarah 2:228] Yes.

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].
