What is the religious ruling regarding a wife who raises her voice at her husband and diminishes his respect in front of their children and servants due to his anger?
It is obligatory for both spouses to coexist amicably and with good character. Responding to a husband's anger with similar anger is not considered amicable. Rather, the wife is advised to remain silent when he is angry, and once he calms down, she can advise him and reach an understanding with him, remembering the advice of Abu Darda: "If you are angry, then appease me, and if I am angry, I will appease you," and the advice of Asma bint Kharijah to her daughter: "Be a servant to your husband, and he will be a slave to you." The husband is advised by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Do not get angry" and "Kindness is not in anything but it adorns it."
