It is not permissible for a husband to strike his wife on her face. If it is proven that the lasting mark on your face is from the effect of a blow, then there is a "hukūmah" in it, meaning that experts will exercise to estimate what is required in this matter, and reference for this is made to the courts. As for maintenance, you have no right to it after the expiration of the waiting period ().
