What is the ruling on a wife who curses her husband during a heated discussion, knowing the seriousness of her action and repeating it despite being warned?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden for a wife to insult, demean, or harm her husband, for insulting a Muslim is a transgression (fisq). If the husband is Muslim, her sin is greater. She must repent and apologize, and she must obey her husband, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her will enter Paradise," and he said: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband." The husband should be patient and forgiving.
