Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not obliged to sit with her husband who insults and curses her. She may move to another room, and she may report him to the authorities if she is harmed by his insults. It is not permissible for a husband to insult or curse his wife. If her leaving would exacerbate the situation, it is better for her to be patient, advise him, and avoid what provokes his anger.
