What are the rights of woman after marriage?

Dear Islamic Sisters,

Assalaamu Alaiqum wa Rehmatullahi wa Barakatahu.


Please allow me to share this with you,hope none of you will be
embarrased at all to know the Truth Of Islam.

                What are the rights of woman after marriage?

If the husband calls the wife to bed, can she say no? does the husband
need the wife's consent to have Intercourse? If there is no consent,
and the wife doesn't want to, and he forces himself over her, isn't
tha...t rape?" In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful, Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrates
that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said:
�When a man calls his wife for sexual intimacy and she refuses him,
thus he spends the night in anger, then the angels curse her until
morning.� (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim, See: Riyad al-Salihin, No.
281) Talq ibn Ali (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the
Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: �When a
man calls his wife for sexual intimacy, then she should come, even if
she is (busy) in the cooking area.� (Sunan al-Tirmizi & Sunan
al-Nasa�i) Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the
Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: �By the
one in whose hands is my life, there is not a man who calls his wife
for sexual intimacy and she refuses him except that Allah becomes
angry with her until her husband is pleased with her.� (Sahih Muslim,
No. 1436) The above and other narrations of the beloved of Allah
(Allah bless him & give him peace) clearly signify the importance of
the wife obeying her husband in his request for sexual intimacy. It
will be a grave sin, in normal circumstances, for the wife to refuse
her husband, and even more, if this leads the husband into the
unlawful. Imam al-Nawawi (Allah have mercy on him) states in his
commentary on the Hadith of Abu Huraira stated above: �This Hadith
indicates that it is unlawful (haram) for the wife to refuse her
husband for sexual intimacy without a valid reason. Menstruation will
not be considered a valid reason, for the husband has a right to enjoy
her from above the garment (on top of cloths).� (Sharh Sahih Muslim,
P. 1084) However, this does not in any way mean that the husband may
force himself over her for sexual gratification. The Hadith mentions
that, �the husband spends the night in anger or being displeased,�
which clearly shows that he must restrain himself from forcing himself
over her. Had this not been the case, the Messenger of Allah (Allah
bless him & give him peace) would have advised the husband to gain his
right in a forceful manner. Similarly, it should be remembered here
that, the wife must obey her husband in his request for sexual
intimacy unless she has a valid reason. She must obey him as long as
she does not have to forego her own rights. As such, if the wife is
ill, fears physical harm or she is emotionally drained, etc; she will
not be obliged to comply with her husband�s request for sexual
intimacy. Rather, the husband would be required to show her
consideration. Allah Most High says: �On no soul does Allah place a
burden greater than it can bear� (al-Baqarah, 286) Many times it is
observed that the husband demands from his wife to fulfil his sexual
needs no matter what state she is in, and uses the above quoted
Hadiths to impose himself over her. If the wife is not in a state to
engage in sexual activities and has a genuine and valid reason, and
the husband forces her, then he will be sinful. Muslim husbands should
realize that their wives are also humans and not some type of machines
that can be switched on whenever they desire! Finally, these matters
should be resolved with mutual understanding, regard for one another,
love, gentleness and putting one�s spouse before one�s self. The
Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) has reported to
have said: �None of you can be a true believer until they love for
their brother what they love for themselves.� The importance of this
is even greater in a marital relationship. And Allah knows best.

Please do remember me in your precious dua's to Allah Almighty Alone Only.

Jazakallah khaira.
