Why do angels curse a wife if she refuses her husband, but do not curse the husband in a similar manner?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wife who refuses her husband's intimacy, causing him to spend the night angry with her, is cursed by the angels. The severity of this warning to women is due to the man's greater need for intercourse and his lesser patience for its absence compared to a woman. If the husband refrains from intimacy with his wife without a valid excuse, he is sinful, and in that case, the wife has the right to seek divorce due to harm.
