The answer

A wife must give her husband and son their rights, without excess or negligence. The husband, in turn, should excuse his wife if her negligence regarding his rights was unintentional. Understanding should prevail between the spouses, with each knowing the other's circumstances.

In general, the husband's rights over his wife are: 1. Obedience to him in what is good and permissible. 2. Not leaving his house except with his permission. 3. Not allowing anyone he dislikes into his house. 4. Serving him and managing his household affairs. 5. Striving to please and gladden him. 6. Safeguarding herself and his property for him.
