The answer

God's rulings are based on mercy, wisdom, and justice, and a believer must trust that his happiness lies in submitting to God's law. The did not diminish women's rights by assigning guardianship to men; rather, it equated them in rights, in accordance with His, the Almighty's, saying: {And due to them [wives] is similar to what is due from them [husbands] in a just manner, but the men have a degree over them.} The Sharia's emphasis on a woman refraining from her husband's bed is due to the difference in a man's need for intercourse compared to a woman's. If the husband is unjust, the woman is not blamed for abandoning him.
