Is a woman granted custodianship over her husband if he does not provide for her, and is she considered disobedient (nashiz) if she refuses intimacy with him in this situation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the wife is content to remain with her husband who is in financial difficulty, she is not obligated to obey him in matters of enjoyment, and this does not make her disobedient (nashiz). However, it is recommended to treat the husband well and obey him in what is good and reasonable. The husband must permit his wife to visit her family within customary limits.
