The hadiths indicate mutual rights between spouses, including respect and kind treatment. The wife's respect manifests in her obedience, adorning herself, and protecting her husband, as in the hadith "the one who pleases him when he looks..." And in his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband." As for the husband's respect, it appears in his kindness to his wife and overlooking her slips, as in the hadith "Treat women kindly..." and the hadith "The best of you are those who are best to their families..."
