What should a married man do who is suffering from frequent problems with his wife that reach the point of hitting and regretting, and a change in her treatment of him and their children, despite his continuous attempts at reconciliation and advice?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Marital life is rectified by each party knowing the rights of the other and fulfilling them, and overlooking slips. The husband must live with his wife in kindness and be patient with her shortcomings within the bounds of a lack of sociability, addressing that with benevolence and kind words. And the wife must obey her husband in what is right, for her lack of appreciation for him is a breach of his right, and she must reconsider her sound judgment and appease him.
