Importance of Marriage in Islam:
The Holy Quran says,
"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."
(Quran 30:21)

The Holy Prophet [SAW] says,

“No house has been built in Islam more beloved in the sight of
Allah than through marriage”
“One who marries, has already guarded half of his religion,
therefore he should fear Allah for the other half.” 
In Islam importance of marriage is clear in above Hades that
marriage is the half of our religion, people who perform this act is
already completed half of its eman.
The person who married, has experience how successful marriage
plays an impotant part in our lives. Marriages in islam is very
impotant for the family establishment and the only relationship that
effectively prepares us for the community, so , it is thought upon
carefully and wisely , it will results in well being of society as well as
each individual.
Allah created human beings in pairs and bound them is a
relationship, so there is also some rights which has to be fullfilled by
both of the partners.

RIGHTS OF HUSBAND AND WIFE

ACCORDING TO THE TEACHING OF ISLAM
AND CURRENT SOCIETY:
While Allah, the Almighty, has emphasized on marriage and disliked
anyone remaining single, He has also outlined the rights of the
husband and wife. If we are mindful of these rights which Allah has
defined then differences will never arise. Rather, it’ll be a highly
successful life.
Allah Almighty tells in the Holy Quran that each spouse has some
rights over the other but husband has one particular right over his
wife which she does not have over him. In Holy Quran it is
mentioned in the verse in these words: 
“And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards
living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them
(as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but
men have a degree (of responsibility) over them”
 (Quran, 2:228)

“Indeed, We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and
the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but
man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant.
[It was] so that Allah may punish the hypocrite men and women
and the men and women who associate others with Him and
that Allah may accept repentance from the believing men and
be believing women. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful “–
 [Quran 33:72-73]

“Allah made for you mates from your own selves and appointed
for you children and grandchildren from your mates , and We
provided you with all good things.What , do they believe in
falsehood while they deny the blessing of Allah”
[Quran 16:72]
Rights of Wife:
One of the great signs of the Benevolence, Mercy and Power of
Allah, the Exalted, is that He created for mankind mates, one from
the other, so that they are comforted, satisfied and assisted by one
another. The basic foundation of the society is the family, and the
husband and the wife are co-partners in that family upon which a
Muslim home is established. For the success of the family and the
tranquility of the home, Islam grants each spouse certain rights and
duties.
It is reported in a tradition that,

“On the Day of Qiyamat, a servant will be stopped

near the Scale. His good deeds will be as large as mountains. At
that time he will be asked about how he looked after his family
and how he fulfilled their rights. The second question will be
about his wealth and from where he acquired it.”
In reply to these questions, all his good deeds will be exhausted and
not a single good deed will remain. Then the angels will call out,
“He is that person whose wife has exhausted all his good deeds
and now he is engulfed in his deeds.” 
The last will of Holy Prophet (s.a.w) was said:
“He emphasized for prayers twice. Do not assign your slaves
and servants any responsibility beyond their capacity. For the
sake of Allah! Look after the women. They are the trusts of
Allah in your hands. You have sought them after you made a
covenant with Allah and she became your wife in the Name of
Allah.”
The importance of the rights of a wife is evident from these
traditions. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) has repeatedly emphasized on
this point and has willed concerning women during the last stages of
one’s life.

Some rights of wife upon his husband are discussed below:

1. Financial rights:
 (a)The Maher:
This is the money to which the wife is entitled from her husband
when the marriage contract is completed or when the marriage is
consummated. It is a right which the man is obliged to pay to the
woman. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And give to the women (whom you marry) their Maher
(obligatory bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at
the time of marriage) with a good heart”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:4]
The prescription of Maher demonstrate the seriousness or
importance of marriage and it is a sign of respect and honor to his
wife.
(b)Spending
What is meant by spending is providing what the wife needs of food
and accommodation. She has the right to these things even if she is
rich, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“But the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother’s
food and clothing on a reasonable basis”
[al-Baqarah 2:233]
 
In one of hadith Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
 ‘Give charity.’ A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have a
Dinar.’ He said: ‘Spend it on yourself.’ He said: ‘I have another.’
He said: ‘Spend it on your wife.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He
said: ‘Spend it on your son.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said:
‘Spend it on your servant.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said:
‘You know best (what to do with it).”
‘ (Sunan an-Nasa’i)
The Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said to his companion
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah exalt their mention):
 "No amount you spend on your family seeking
reward from Allah but that He will reward you even if
it is a bite of food that you put in your wife's mouth.

[Bukhari #2592 & Muslim #1628]

It is obligatory upon to husband to pay alimony to his wife. Holy

Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:
“Cursed, cursed is he who violates the rights of his wife.”
It is the right of wife that all her expenditures is fullfiled by his
husband because Allah Has given all the responsibilities of a wife to
her husband,if he do not do that he would have answer in front of
Allah on the day of judgment.

2. Kind Treatment:
 The husband must have a good attitude towards his wife and be
kind to her, and offer her everything that may soften her heart
towards him, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And live with them honourably”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:19]
“And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards
living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them
(as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable”
[al-Baqarah 2:228]
 “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said:
‘Be kind to women.’
”(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3153; Muslim, 1468).
It’s the duty of the husband to be kind to her. Prophet (PBUH) said
in one of His Hades:
 “The perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one
whose behavior is most excellent, and the best of you are those
who are the best to their wives.”
 (Tirmidhi)
So from the above Quranic and hadis translation ,it is necessary for
husband to behave good with their wives because women are the
center of kindness and being who is emotional so,Be frank and do
not be discrete in expressing your love towards your wife. In her
absence or presence, you should make compliments for her.
3. Protection and Preservation:
A man must be appreciative of his wife and regard her as a blessing
from God. He must honor her, be gentle with her, forgive her
mistakes, and refrain from strictness and stubbornness. Islam
regards this attitude a wife’s right and a husband’s duty.
A husband must protect and prevent his wife and children from any
possible harm or immorality to the best of his abilities. Allah, the
Exalted, says:
(O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire
whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels
stern (and) severe, who disobey not the Commands they receive
from Allah, and do what they are commanded.)
[Quran 66;6]

It is the responsibility of husband to protect his wife in all

conditions and forbid her from any kind of sin.
Man is the caretaker of his wife and household. He is responsible for
all her affairs. He is responsible for training, direction and discipline
if needed. Allah Almighty Says what means:
 “Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given
one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from
their wealth…”
 [Qur
an 4:34]
4. Companionship, care and ultimate relationship:
A husband must live with his wife honorably, kindly and with
respect. He must maintain a decent, clean and acceptable
appearance when he relaxes in his household, just as he likes his
wife to do for him at home, since this is only mutual respect and
decency to one another. A husband must help his wife in assisting
household like cleaning house , making food etc.
The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) used to mend his own
clothes or shoes and help his wives with their daily chores. His
wife Aisha (may Allah exalt their mention) was once asked:

"What did the Messenger of Allah use to do while at

home?"
She responded: "He used to serve and assist his
household, and when he would hear the call to
prayer, he would leave to pray."
(bukhari shareef)

The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) was always pleasant,

kind and caring to all, and would occasionally play and joke politely
with his family members.
4. Justice , Equality and Fairness:
Men who are married to more than one wife are required to act
with justice, fairness and equality in dealing with them. This
includes provision, clothing, housing and sharing his time, concerns
and intimate relations. Allah, the Beneficent, says:

“(And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal

justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other)
women of your choice, two or three or four, but if you
fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with
them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves)
that your right hands possess. That is better to
prevent you from doing injustice.)”

The Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon Him) said:

"He who has two wives and leans to one as opposed

to the other will come on the Day of Resurrection
with one of his sides fallen.
(abu dawood 2133 & Tirmidhi #1141)
This indicates that the husband must demonstrate justice,
fairness and equality amongst all his wives. He is warned of this
dire punishment of paralysis and deformity in the hereafter, just
as he paralyzed and deformed the rights of one of his wives in
this world.
5. Religious and Moral Guidance:
Men are obligated to make provision for religious, ethical, and
belief related issues of their wives. Either they must help them in
this matter themselves, or they must provide the instruments for
their learning. A man must be careful of his wife’s morality and
conduct. He must encourage her to virtuous deeds and
praiseworthy behavior and dissuade her from evil deeds and
indecent behavior. In short, he must free her from the fires of
Hell and invite her to Heaven.
This is one of the results and requirements of supervision, which
is the responsibility of men. The Quran proclaims:
“O people of faith! Save yourselves and your families
from the Fire whose fuel is humans and stones”
(Surah Tahrim 66:6)
6. Khula:
Khulʿ (Arabic: ‫)خلع‬, also called khula, is a procedure through
which a woman can divorce her husband in Islam, by returning
the dower (mahr) or something else that she received from her
husband, as agreed by the spouses or court .Based on
traditional fiqh, and referenced in the Qur'an and hadith, khul'
allows a woman to initiate a divorce through the mutual consent
of the husband or a judicial decree.
In Holy Quran Allah Al Mighty said that:

And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or

evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of
settlement between them—and settlement is best. And present
in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good and fear Allah
—then indeed Allah is ever Acquainted, with what you do.

( Quran 4:128)

The basic principle concerning this is the verse in which Allaah

says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your
wives) any of your Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to
his wife at the time of marriage) which you have given them,
except when both parties fear that they would be unable to
keep the limits ordained by Allaah (e.g. to deal with each other
on a fair basis). Then if you fear that they would not be able to
keep the limits ordained by Allaah, then there is no sin on
either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her
Al-Khul‘ (divorce)”
[al-Baqarah 2:229]
The most well known story that references khul' and serves as the
basis for legal interpretations is the story of Jamilah, the wife
of Thabit ibn Qays:[2]
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
“ The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to the Prophet and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I do not blame Thabit for defects in his
character or his religion, but I, being a Muslim, dislike to
behave in un-Islamic manner if I remain with him."
“ On that Allah's Apostle said to her, "Will you give back the
garden which your husband has given you as Mahr?" She said,
"Yes." Then the Prophet ordered to Thabit, "O Thabit! Accept
your garden, and divorce her once."
So islam give rights to the women that if she doesnot want to live
with her husband she has a right to take khula but she also has to try
best to sustain their relation if it is not possible than take khula from
him.

RIGHTS OF HUSBAND:
Women also have heavy responsibilities towards their husbands.
The holy Prophet (PBUH) once said,
“Such a women when her husband sees her, she should
please him and when her husband orders her , she should
obey him and she should not adopt a manner about her
chastity and property which should displace her husband”.
narrated by Ak-Hakim from Aisha(RTA) who said: I asked the
messenger of Allah (PBUH):
“Who has most righteous over women?”He said:”Her
husband”.I said Who is the most righteous over a man?”He
said:”His mother.”

Some of the major rights of husbands are as follows:

1. Respect and Obedience:
As husband is the head of family so it is necessary for a women to obey
her husband. Obedience is the first right that Islam acknowledges for
the husband over his wife. She is required to obey him in everything
unless he commands her to do an act of disobedience.

 This is supported by the Hadeeth where the Prophet,  , said:

“If the woman performs the five daily prayers, fasts the month
of Ramadan, maintains her chastity and obeys her husband,
she will enter the Paradise of her Lord.” 

Moreover, the Prophet,  , said:

 “Were I to order anyone to prostrate himself before anyone
else, I would have ordered the woman to prostrate herself
before her husband.”
she is required to obey him when he commands, fulfill his request
when he orders, abstain when he forbids and respond when he
 advises. If he commands her not to allow a certain person, whether
he is a relative or not, a Mahram or non-Mahram, to enter his home
when he is absent, she is required to obey him. The Messenger of

Allah,  , said: 
“Indeed, you have a right over your wives, and your wives have
a right over you. As for the right that you have over them, it is
to disallow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses.”
From these Hades it is clear that obeying a husband is equal to
jihad. If she does not obey him or refuses his order she could not be
rewarded in front of Allah on the day of judgment as mentioned in
the below,

Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said:

“If a woman hurts her husband through her tongue, Allah shall not
accept even gold and silver from her nor any of her good deeds until she
pleases her husband.”
the rights of obeying the husband requires the wife to obey husband and
abide by his orders and prohibitions.the husband’s order may be obligatory if
he orders his wife to do an obligatory act.
Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, Prophet (PBUH) once said:
“the best of your women is the prolific , the affectionate , the chaste , the
endeared of her family , the humble to her husband , fortified against
other than him , listen to what he says , when alone , but not in
unabashed manner like his.”
"Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) stated:
'A woman who respects her husband and does not harass him, will be
fortunate and prosperous'
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):
"But if I had to command, that one man leaned over the other in
prostration, then I would, of course, ordered the woman to bow down in
front of her husband".
This hadess tells us very clearly that hoe impotant is to obey the husbands as
prophet (PBUH) said to bow down in front of the husbands.

2. Kindness and Honesty:

The rights of husband’s rights over his wife includes that she should be
honest and observant of his rights.honesty is one of the gratest qualities of
the believers.the holy prophet (PBUH) said thar on the day of judgement when
the sirat pull is stretched over hell,honesty and kindship ties will stand on the
two sides of hell.
Kindness is also important for any relationship specially in this relationship.a
woman who is kind with her husband ,who shows their kindness or love
towards their husband is follow the quranic teaching.As allah Al Mighty said in
this ayat:
And one of His signs that He created mates for you from yourselves
that you may find rest in them, and He puts between you love and
compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflects.
(Quran 30:21)

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) stated:

'The best of you among women are those who possess love and
affection'." ( Bihar al Anwar vol 103,pg235)
A person came into the presence of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and asked him: O
Messenger of Allah! My wife welcomes me when I come home and sees me off
when I go out. When she sees me aggrieved she consoles by saying that if you
are worrying about sustenance then Allah has guaranteed it and if you are
pondering over the hereafter then think more (about it).
Holy Prophet (PBUH) replied:
“Give her glad tidings of Paradise and tell her you are one of Allah’s
facilitators. Allah will grant you the reward of 70 martyrs daily”
(tahaf al uqool ,pg 239)
When a woman obey her husband she is rewarded as obeying husband is
necessary for the wife.

3. Stepping out of house without the husband’s

permissions:
The best place for muslim women is in her house.when Allah addressed the
wives of Holy Prophrt (PBUH) and ordered them to remain primarily in
their homes.
“And stay in your homes and donot display yourselves like the ways of
the time of ignorance.And establish the prayer,pay the zakat and obey
Allah and His Messenger.”
(Quran 33:33)

  A woman should not go out without her husband's permission. A hadith

says: The believer in Allah woman is not allowed to leave the house against
the wishes of her husband". She does not have to deal with those women with
whom her husband forbids chat. You can get out if you know in advance that
your husband will not be angry. At the same time, the husband should not
restrict the freedom of his wife for no apparent reason, if she wants to head to
the mosque, or to visit her parents, or in places where there is no haram.
Allaah has even forbidden women who are revocably divorced (first or
second talaaq) from going out of their houses, so how about women who are
not in that position? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them at their ‘Iddah
(prescribed periods) and count (accurately) their ‘Iddah (periods). And
fear Allaah your Lord (O Muslims). And turn them not out of their
(husband’s) homes nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they
are guilty of some open illegal sexual intercourse. And those are the set
limits of Allaah. And whosoever transgresses the set limits of Allaah,
then indeed he has wronged himself”
[al-Talaaq 65:1]

4. Take care of husband and his property:

The task of a wife is to maintain and take care of a husband. . For a woman to
be a successful wife, she should win over her husband's heart and be a source
of comfort to him. She should encourage him to do good deeds while
dissuading him from bad ones. She should also provide adequate measures to
maintain his health and well-being. The results of her efforts are directed
towards making the man into a kind and respected husband who would be a
proper guardian for his family, and a good father from whom the children
would seek guidance and respect. Allah, the All-Knowing has endowed woman
with extraordinary power. The prosperity and happiness as well as the misery
of the family are in her hands.
A woman can turn the home into a lofty paradise or a burning hell. She can
lead her husband to the peak of success or the dregs of misfortune.
 A woman should do housework, washing, cleaning the house. The Prophet
(peace be upon him) said:
“A woman is responsible for her husband's home , and she will be asked
about it” (Bukhari).

In Islam, taking care of one's husband has an important position. It has been
equated to the role of Jihad (holy war in the path of Allah).
"Imam Ali (a.s) stated:
'The Jihad of a woman is to take care of her husband well'.
Considering that Jihad is the struggle and holy war in the path of Allah
including the struggle for advancement and honor of Islam, defending the
Islamic territories and execution of social justice, it is one of the highest acts of
worship. The value of fulfilling the duties of a proper spouse is also reflected
upon when considering Jihad.
"The Prophet (S) of Islam stated:
' Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her, enters
Paradise'.
(Mahajad al bayda , vol 2)
The Holy Prophet also stated:
"If a woman does not perform her duty as a spouse, she has not done her
duty to Allah'.
(Mustadrak , vol 2)
It is their duty to take of their husbands as well as his protery never cheat him
and donot give something from his property to others.

5. Support and appreciates her husband:

The burdens of life weigh heavily upon the shoulders of men since they are
responsible for maintaining and supporting their families. In fulfilling this
responsibility, the man of the household must confront many problems and
obstacles outside of the home.
When your husband comes home, try to have a smile and a warm greeting for
him. Attend to his physical needs of fatigue, hunger, and thirst. . Give him
encouragements of support to help him cope with the issues. You can say
something like this: These problems are being faced by many people. If you
have some ideas on handling the problems, share them with your husband.
"In a tradition, Imam as-Sadiq (a.s) stated:
'There is nothing better in the world than a good wife. And a good wife is
the one whose husband, becomes glad upon seeing her'.
"In a tradition, Imam Rida (a.s) stated:
'There are a group of women who raise many children. They are kind
and sympathetic. They support their husbands in times of difficulty and
in the affairs of this world and the next. These women do not commit any
acts which would incur a loss upon their husbands nor multiply their
difficulties'
Gratitude and appreciation are admirable characteristics in a person and it is
the secret by which one may attract charitable acts. 

6. Respect His Family:

According to Islam, a woman is not required to serve her husband's parents.
He himself is required to look after his parents and try as hard as possible to
ensure their comfort according to his means. This means that if a woman
decides to serve her husband's parents, in deference to them or out of love for
her husband, she does so voluntarily. Her attitude should be met with
gratitude by her husband and his parents and her kindness should be
reciprocated. But she violates no Islamic law or principle if she decides not to
serve them. Her husband may not force or pressure her into serving them,
whether they share the same house or live separately.
So it is not impposed on  to obey her inlaws but to spend a delightful and
happy life it is important to make a lovely relation ship with her inlaws.
So ,the wife should respect and honor the parents and relatives of the
husband. Honor them how to honor your parents. Be grateful for the fact that
they raised your husband. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever does not respect the older and does not spare the younger –
not of us”.
"Imam Ali (a.s) stated:
'One is never able to do without his relatives, even though he may
possess wealth and children'.
"A woman asked the Prophet (S) of Allah:
'What good (reward) is awaiting a woman who performs her duties in
her husband's house?' The Prophet (S) stated: 'For every activity that she
does concerning the household matters, Allah looks on her kindly, and
whoever enjoys the grace of Allah would not be tormented'.
If she do so she will help her husband to maintian balance in his life and her
husband will also happy with her.
7. Look beautiful only for him:
 Why should she look beautiful for others? Is it proper for a woman to expose
her beauty before the eyes of other men and to create problems for the youth?
"The Prophet (S) of Islam stated:
' Any woman, who perfumes herself and leaves the house, is deprived
from the blessings of the Almighty Allah until she returns home'

"The Prophet (S) also stated:

'The best of your women is one who is obedient towards her husband,
adorns herself for her husband but does not reveal her adornment to
strangers; and the worst of your women is one who adorns herself in the
absence of her husband'.
"Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) stated:
'Women should not give up adornment, be it only with a necklace. She
should not have untinged hands, be it with a little henna. Even old
women should not give up adornment'
When a man marries a woman, he wishes all his wife's beauty and affection to
be reserved for him. He wishes to be the only one who benefits from her
charm, affection, coquettishness, beauty, sense of humour, etc and to strictly
avoid men. Man is, by nature, very ardent and intolerant of another man either
looking at his wife or having any kind of relationship with her. He would
regard a close relationship between his wife and other men to be a violation of
his lawful right. He expects his wife to observe Islamic Hijab (statutory Islamic
dress for women) and by adapting herself to Islamic behaviour and ethics she
cooperates in maintaining his lawful rights.
It is therefore in the interest of society and women that they should be
dressed modestly and behave humbly; they should appear in public without
any make-up and should abstain from showing off their beauty to others.
Observing Hijab is an Islamic duty. The Almighty Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
"And say to the believing women that they should cast down their looks
and guard their private parts, and not display their ornaments except
what appears thereof, and let them wear their head coverings and not
display their ornaments except to their husbands or their fathers. or the
father of their husbands, their sons. or the sons of their husbands or
their brothers or their brother's sons or their sisters' sons, or their
women, or those whom their right hands possess, or male servants not
having need (of women), or the children who have not attained
knowledge of what is hidden of women; and let them not strike their feet
so that what they hide of their ornaments may be known; and turn to
Allah all of you, so that you may be successful”
 (Quran 24:31)

Mutual Rights and Responsibility of both:

According to Islam, the family is a small social unit that makes up the society.
This small unit is formed of a woman and a man and is extended by producing
children. Members of a family have a close relationship and common goals and
interests. The happiness of each member depends on the happiness of the
whole family. After marriage, men and women must consider all the members
of the family not only their individual selves.
The relationship between a husband and wife is not like that of neighbors or
friends; it is much more extreme—on the verge of unity. The Quran expresses
this nicely:
“ They (women) are a garment for you (men) and you are a garment for
them”.
(Surah baqrah 2:187)
Husbands and wives must observe each other’s desires in cleanliness,
clothing, the style of their hair and beard, etc. Islam advises women at home to
apply cosmetics and adorn themselves for their husbands, wear their best
clothes, be neat and clean, and apply fragrant perfumes.
Caring for children, providing for their health, training their bodies and souls,
and educating them in knowledge and morality are shared duties of fathers
and mothers. This necessitates their cooperation and mutual deliberation and
diligence. A father has a greater responsibility in this matter, but the role of a
mother is more sensitive and constructive.

Conclusion:
So , the above quranic verses and hadith we conclude that husband and wife
both have equal rights upon each others, Allah made them for each other they
put love in their hearts so they spend life happily together.it is neccesary for
both to listen and take care of each other because the relation in which they
are bound is the best and pure relationship. they both put their effort to
maintain balance in their marriage life.
"O mankind! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female,
and made you nations and tribes that you may identify
yourselves with one another. Indeed the noblest of you in the
sight of Allah is the most God-wary among you. Indeed Allah is
all-knowing, all-aware"
(49:13).
