Contents > Social Life in Islam > Rights of the wife

Haq az-Zawjah - You must know the wife's rights. The wife has rights over her husband that he will spend on her and provide her with food, clothing and shelter; that he will also give peace and tranquillity with her and he will give her intimate relationship and ultimately children. Allah says,

"Men are protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more strength than the other, and because they support them from their wealth." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa’, 4: 34

Allah says,

"And among his signs is this, that the created for you mates from among yourselves that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts undoubtedly, in this are signs for those who reflect" al-Qur’an, Surah al-Room, 30: 21
