Is a wife entitled to request participation in family decision-making, considering that discussion may be futile and that not taking her opinion into account leads to her rejecting the decision, even though the decisions do not involve disobedience or harm?

A husband is not obligated to consult his wife on every family matter. Some matters require her consultation and consent, such as breastfeeding and having children. Other matters are specific to the husband alone. It is desirable for the husband to consult her on household affairs to strengthen the marital relationship, and she may advise him on what is most suitable. However, it is not permissible for a woman to disobey her husband in matters where her obedience is due, under the pretext that he did not consult her.
