The answer

The jurists have agreed upon the obligation of a wife's obedience to her husband in what is good, as long as he does not command a sin; based on the Almighty's saying: "Men are in charge of women," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to Allah." Accordingly, the sin falls upon the disobedient wife. As for divorce, it is permissible in Islamic law and can be a mercy for both parties. It is advisable to give the wife an opportunity to reconsider, or to resort to two arbitrators before definitively settling on divorce.
