The answer

Islam has honored women and elevated their status, granting men the role of guardianship (qawamah) and permitting them to discipline a disobedient wife in a non-harmful manner. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said in his Farewell Sermon: "Fear Allah concerning women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allah, and their private parts have been made lawful for you by the Word of Allah. You have rights over them, which are that they should not allow anyone you dislike to sit on your bedding. If they do that, then hit them with a non-painful beating. And they have rights over you regarding their provision and clothing according to what is reasonable." Thus, Allah Almighty has given women a status befitting their femininity and honor.
