Is injustice inflicted upon the wife if she is beaten and verbally abused as a result of her provocation during marital disputes? And what should the husband do?
Marital life is not without problems, and the presence of the mother in the same dwelling can increase them. Therefore, it is better for both the mother and the wife to live in separate dwellings, and this is the wife's right.
Divorce is disliked unless there is a need for it, and it may even be forbidden due to the harms that result from it. However, one who divorces his wife is not described as an oppressor.
As for striking and insulting one's wife, that is oppression, and one must repent from it. A husband should treat his wife with kindness, be patient with her nature, and manage the relationship between her and his mother wisely to ensure the stability of marital life.
