The answer

A wife is obligated to obey her husband in what is good, as stated in many prophetic traditions. Among these are that angels curse a wife who refuses her husband's bed until morning, and that a wife's obedience to her husband, along with performing her obligatory duties, is a cause for her entering Paradise through whichever gate she wishes. Nevertheless, a wife is not permitted to obey her husband in what Allah has forbidden; for there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. As for the matter of a righteous man and a wicked man being equal, they are not equal. A woman should address her husband's disobedience gently and explain his error to him. If he does not respond, she should seek help from brothers and relatives.
