Do marital disputes, and the accompanying oaths, insults, and subsequent repentance, affect the reward of acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, and charity, and does the meaning of "Impure women are for impure men" apply to this situation?
Verbally abusing the wife and her parents is Islamically forbidden and is considered a harm that permits the wife to seek a divorce. One should refrain from harming the wife and treat her kindly. Marital disputes do not affect the reward of acts of worship unless they involve sin. Acts of worship expiate minor sins that occur in interactions with family. Seeking forgiveness and repenting after a sin is praiseworthy, but one must seek forgiveness from the wife and her parents if they have been harmed, because the rights of people are not waived by mere supplication for forgiveness. The meaning of "corrupt women are for corrupt men" is that corrupt sayings emanate from corrupt individuals, and good sayings emanate from good individuals.
