It is forbidden for a wife to insult, demean, or harm her husband, for insulting a Muslim is a transgression (fisq). If the husband is Muslim, her sin is greater. She must repent and apologize, and she must obey her husband, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her will enter Paradise," and he said: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband." The husband should be patient and forgiving.
