The question

Is a husband permitted to forcibly prevent his wife from working evening hours, especially since she adorns herself and applies perfume when she goes out for it, and the husband finds no opportunity to be intimate with her due to her exhaustion from both jobs? And is he entitled to know how she spends her money?

The answer

A husband is permitted to prevent his wife from working at night if it infringes upon his rights, especially if she had agreed to that condition before marriage. The husband must prevent his wife from going out perfumed or adorned (in an immodest way), due to his guardianship over her, and he must protect her from temptation. She must obey him in what is good, and he has the right to discipline her if she refuses. It is wrong for the father to interfere and spoil the relationship between the spouses. The husband may ask his wife about her salary, but she has the right not to inform him.
