The answer

A Muslim is obligated to ensure all their actions conform to the law of Allah the Almighty, and marriage is no exception. One must avoid forbidden matters within it, such as intermingling (free mixing of sexes), extravagance, and unlawful musical instruments. The husband is responsible for this and for his wife's adherence to the Islamic veil (hijab). The husband holds the first and final decision regarding marriage (nikah); he possesses the power to solemnize and dissolve the marriage contract, and he is responsible for the associated dowry, maintenance, and housing. He also has the right to divorce. It is commendable for him to consult with his family and wife on shared matters.
