Am I a negligent husband, and can your Eminence help me to repel my wife's harm and endure her recklessness?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A wife leaving without her husband's permission and acting with recklessness and disdain is considered prohibited nushuz (rebellion), which nullifies her right to financial support and makes her deserving of sin. The husband should apply Allah Almighty's ruling in Surat An-Nisa, which is: admonishing the wife by reminding her of Allah's punishment for her disobedience, forsaking her in bed only, and striking her with a non-bruising strike. If she persists in her nushuz and stubbornness, divorce is recommended, because the continuation of the marriage may become pure corruption and harm.
