The answer

The husband is obligated to provide for his wife according to what is customary and reasonable. This is a debt owed by him that does not lapse with the passage of time, so the wife may demand it.

Also, the husband must be just among his wives in the division of time. If a wife's right to her share of time is missed, the husband must make up the days he did not spend with her. For this reason, we advise the wife not to insist on making up past days or demanding past maintenance. Rather, it is sufficient for the husband to achieve justice in the present and future. Otherwise, she has the right to seek divorce.
