The answer

If a wife kissing her husband's feet is motivated by religion, righteousness, or respect, then there is no harm in it. However, if it is for worldly gain, it is not appropriate, and some scholars have deemed it disliked or forbidden. If the husband prevents her from doing so, she must obey him.
