What should a wife do regarding a husband who searches social media for pictures of his ex-fiancée and other women, looks at immodestly dressed women, has been seen watching pornography, raises his voice at his wife and infant daughter, and obliges his wife to financially support the household despite her working 13 hours a week, knowing that he maintains his prayers in the mosque?
The matters mentioned concerning the husband are bad, and casting one's gaze upon forbidden things is a reprehensible act. It is a disease, not a cure, and it is an act of ingratitude for the blessing of a wife, and it is a reprehensible act in both word and deed. How can he turn to what is forbidden when he has what is lawful? And the unrestrained use of foul language and ill-treatment are offenses against the wife, whereas Allah has commanded good companionship. Furthermore, the husband is obligated to provide for his wife. The advice to the wife is patience, to counsel her husband in the best manner, and to adorn herself for him.
