Is it permissible for the husband to force his wife to pay half the expenses for the house, children, and food, even though half of the husband's financial grant is sufficient for their expenses? Is it valid to deprive the wife of her marital rights due to the husband's premature ejaculation problem and his refusal of treatment? Are the wife's duties limited to cleaning the house, cooking, raising and caring for the children?

The husband is obligated to provide for his wife and children according to what is customary. The wife is not required to share in the expenses with her husband unless she agrees to his condition of paying a portion of her salary in exchange for his permission for her to work. He does not have the right to compel her to work or study to help him with expenses. The husband must protect his wife's chastity and enable her to fulfill her needs. The preponderant opinion is that a wife's service to her husband's home is obligatory upon her according to what is customary. The foundation of the marital relationship is affection, mercy, overlooking minor faults, and considering circumstances.
