The answer

A husband must be just between his wives in terms of lodging, spending, and clothing. Whoever is not just will come on the Day of Judgment with one side of his body drooping. A husband must be just between his wives, especially regarding their turns. It is not permissible for him to enter the house of one wife during the turn of the other except out of necessity. It is also forbidden for a husband to prevent his wife from conceiving without her consent. The wife is advised to exert effort in convincing her husband to give her all her rights, and if he refuses, she may refer the matter to a judge.
