What is the Sharia ruling regarding a wife who uses offensive language towards her husband and disobeys him in some matters concerning child rearing?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Allah has obligated the wife to obey her husband in what is good, and He has given him the right of guardianship over her. A wife addressing her husband with ugly words and disobeying him is a great error, a denial of his right, and bad manners. He should employ means of reform with her, such as admonition, abstention from intimacy, and non-bruising physical correction. If these means are ineffective, then he has the right to divorce her.
