Almighty Allah Subhanuhu wa Ta'ala has proscribed certain rights of the husband towards their wives. The Holy Quran says. The women have almost the same rights over men as men have
certain rights over the women in Kindness. Beloved Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam has said

Best among you are those who behave well with their women. The Prophet of Allah Sallallaho Alihi wa sallam has also said. I make a will to you about the women so obey my will. In another Hadith the Beloved Habeeb Sallallaho Alaihi wa sallam is reported to have said. No believing woman. If he dislikes certain habits of that woman there would certainly be some virtues in her too.

The Rights of Wife, 

There are certain obligations that men owe to the women and these obligations should be fully appreciated. 

1.  Every husband has the obligation to provide for the sustenance of his wife. She should be provided with adequate food, a comfortable home suitable clothes and other basic amenities of Life. He should always bear in mind that htis woman has disassociated herself from her parents. brothers and sisters, relatives and friends and has joined him to share all the ups and downs of life. Hence it has become his duty to look after her basic needs and comforts.

2.  It should be remembered that husbands who never bother for the sustenance of their wives commit a severe crime of depriving Allah's Subhanuhu wa Ta'ala creatures of their rights. Such people would be dealt with severely in the Court of Allah Subhanuhu wa Ta'ala. The Holy Quran says. Men are the Protectors and maintainers of Women because Allah Subhanuhu wa Ta'ala has given the one more strength than the other and because they suport them from their means. 

3.  The husband should satisfy his wife,s physical needs. The sharee'ah has not prescrigbed any limit for this. But he has to ensure that woman's minimum sexual requirements are met so that she may not commit a sin by eyeing other men in order to quench hwer thirst.

The Caliph radi Allahu Taala Anho stopped there and listned to the wailing lady he Radi allahu Taala Anho investigated the matter and came to know that the husband of the woman had gone for jihad long time ago and this woman has been remembering her husband with these sad couplets. The Ameer Radi Allahu Taala Anho was deeply moved and immediately issued and official decree to all chiefs of his army that no married man should be away from his wife for more than four months.

4.  The husband should no beat up his wife without her committing a most server crime. The messenger of Allah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam has said Nobody should beat up his wife as he
does beat up his slave. He should make love with her later some time. However if the woman commits a bigger crime the husband can beat her not in vengeance but with the intention of reforming her and as a warning.
