**And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect." (Qur’an 30:21)
Muslims view marriage as the foundation of society and family life. In a practical aspect, Islamic marriage is thus structured through legally-enforceable rights and duties of both parties. In an atmosphere of love and respect, these rights and duties provide a framework for the balance of family life and the fulfillment of both partners.
General Rights
To be treated with honor, kindness, and patience.
To enjoy intimate relations with each other.
To have children, by God’s will.
To keep one’s legal and personal identity after marriage, retaining one’s own family name, inheritance rights, property, mahr, etc.
General Duties
To be faithful to the marriage bond.
To strive to be attractive to one’s spouse.
To assist and support one another, and to resolve disputes amicably.
The husband has the duty to provide all physical maintenance of the family (housing, clothing, food, medical care, etc.).**
Thanx for sharing ..someone tried to be sarcy ..but I see it as a re-cap for some people, as some ppl have so many problems and hurdles in their life .. this could be refreshing their memory to see their goal and aim in which they are in.
Unfortunately** more than half of the male population in Pakistan** probably doesn't even know this.
majority of male population in pakistan? what about women? why pakistan? in the states, half of the women don't know their rights nor do they know the rights of the husband.

No offence half of the stuff in the post was common sense. We don't need religion to tell us to be loving and caring and faithful, its common sense.
