You are right, it does say that but it also says that if her husband forbids her for no reason then she cannot disobey him. This is the part that disturbs me the most.

And about Hanafi and Maliki business, this same sites gives a fatwa that if the husband follows a particular madhab and the wife follows another then the wife has to follow the husband’s madhab in matters of marital relations. So what if the wife is Hanafi and the husband is Shaafi?

Firstly, VAST majority of Muslims on GS are Hanafi so it seems odd you would not mention the Hanafi ruling..

Secondly, the husband has rights but so does the wife.. There are certain lines he’s not supposed to cross despite the point that (generally) the wife is not meant to disobey him..

As others have mentioned it’s also about basic respect + compassion.. Why would any decent guy want to see his wife or kids upset (and where is the harm in them mixing with their own family anyway?)..
