Is a wife raising her voice at her husband considered ill-mannered and a blemish on her character, and how does one respond to those who cite the Hadith of Aisha and Abu Bakr ("Include me in your peace as you included me in your war") as proof that it does not blemish her character?
A wife raising her voice at her husband is a sign of disrespect and goes against good companionship. This is because the husband is the maintainer of his wife, and she must respect him and address him with decorum. The narration that speaks of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, raising her voice at the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, does not serve as proof for the permissibility of a wife raising her voice. Rather, it describes her father's disapproval, and after his concern, he struck her, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, restrained Abu Bakr from her.
