The answer

Spouses must fulfill their rights towards each other to ensure the stability of the marital relationship. If the wife falls short, the husband follows specific steps: admonition, then abandonment in the bed, then non-brutal beating. If the husband falls short, the wife resorts to courts or religious scholars. However, abandoning the house and harassment are not legitimate solutions. Both parties must repent and return to the legitimate solutions, either by retaining with kindness or releasing with kindness.
