What is the ruling on a husband who views his duties as limited to providing food and paying rent, while his wife is ignorant of his circumstances and news?

If the question is about maintenance, we have clarified the limits of the obligatory maintenance for the wife from her husband, which includes food, drink, clothing, and housing. As for the husband concealing his affairs from his wife, it is part of good companionship for the spouses to advise each other and for neither of them to conceal from the other what should not be concealed. Each party should not insist on asking if they perceive the other to be reserved.
