في الإسلام، rights of a husband on his wife are highly valued and clearly defined by the Quran and Hadith.
God Almighty stated in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 228: "For men there is authority over women for that God has made some of them to excel others, and because they spend out of their property.
" Similarly, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized this importance when he said: "If I was asked anyone other than Allah to bow down before him, it would be your wives.

Truly no woman fulfills her duty towards her Lord until she fulfills her duties toward her husband.
" This includes obedience within lawful bounds, respect, and maintaining family harmony as commanded by Islam.
The reasons behind these responsibilities include Allah's favoritism of men due to additional mental capacity and physical strength which justifies leadership roles such as guardianship ('qiyām').
Additionally, financial contribution from husbands during marriage strengthens familial bonds.
Thus, both spiritual obligations and practical support justify the position of leadership granted to husbands according to Islamic principles.
