In summary: Islam has not left any aspect of life unexplained, including the relationship between a husband and his wife. Allah has dedicated an entire Surah in the Quran to women, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised good treatment of them in his Farewell Pilgrimage and other occasions. If a dispute arises between spouses, the wife should begin by admonishing her husband with what is stated in the Quran and Sunnah, then ask righteous people to advise him. If he does not respond, she may resort to the judiciary. Before all of this, she must rely on Allah and review herself, as the shortcoming might be from her.
