What should I do about my cruel and hard-hearted husband who accuses me of looking at other men and hates me, and am I sinful for feeling hatred towards him while showing him love and respect, and will I be rewarded for my patience with him?
Jealousy between spouses is a sign of love. If the husband's jealousy is excessive and leads to a breakdown in marital relations, the wife should advise him gently and remind him of the obligation to treat her well. It is recommended for the wife to show affection to her husband and to avoid anything that might provoke his jealousy, such as observing the and covering herself from non- men. Exercising patience with the husband is rewarded, while abandoning him is forbidden and an act of disobedience to Allah's command, especially if the wife deprives her husband of his right to intimacy. Not feeling love towards the husband incurs no blame as long as it does not translate into actions or words.
