Islam is the religion that not only guides man towards worship but also guides man how he should be towards others. The religion of Islam came as a blessing for men, women and children as it informed every individual of his rights and duties, so that if each of them fulfills them receives his due rights, and then a happy & peaceful society is formed.
Islam also informed the people about some aspects of marriage. It gave a completely different meaning to marriage, as compared to the practice of people in the days of ignorance. It limited the number of women that a man could marry and gave strict orders on equal treatment of each of them. Rights of wives on husbands and rights of husbands on wives were set, so that if each spouse fulfills the due rights of the other, then no bond can be as good as that between a husband and wife, and there would be no need for divorce. Where Islam has laid special rules and special instructions about the treatment of women, it has also set a few rules and informed women of their duties towards their husbands. The husband is the head of the house, and he demands respect that accompanies that role. He earns money and comes home tired. He is of the utmost importance for the house and the family, so Islam set the rights of husbands on wives.
Husband can demand from his wife to give him respect and protect his house, his belongings, property, and children in his absence. The wives must obey their husbands. If a husband does not permit his wife to do something, the wife should refrain from such a thing, because it makes her husband unhappy. Similarly, if a husband asks his wife to do something she should do it. Obeying his orders is essential, and in fact compulsory, as far as he does not give any orders against the rules set by God.
While the man is away, the wife should protect his house. She should not allow anybody in her husband’s house without his permission, give good care to his children and get all her work done before her husband comes home. She should spend time with her husband, and support him in good or bad. It is advised she is friendly with his parents and his family, and give them respect, so if the husband asks his wife to serve his parents, she should do that happily, as this is a part of obedience of husband.
Thus, if a woman fulfills all the obligations put on her by Islam, she is surely going to get good returns from her husband. If she shall be good, the spouse would also be good towards her, thus, a good everlasting bond would be formed.
