A husband must fulfill his wife's condition regarding her work, unless it contradicts the requirements of the marriage contract. He has the right to prevent her from working in mixed-gender environments. A husband must also provide independent housing for his wife according to his means, whether by ownership or rent. Both spouses are advised to engage in dialogue, understanding, mutual respect, and the fulfillment of rights, for the stability of the family and the proper upbringing of their children.
