Right of wife in Islam--- Responsibilities of husband---Scope---Within Islamic traditions, the first and most important right that a wife has over her husband is to be treated with respect and kindness---When a woman gets married, she has financial rights over her husband---Husband must provide her with all necessities for her to live a comfortable life--Incumbent upon husband to offer provisions of house, food, clothing, healthcare and other tools required for her subjective standard of living---Given values and keeping with Arts. 2-A, 3, 9, 25 (3), 31, 34, 35, 37 & 38 of the Constitution, the Legislatures have made special provisions to help woman in distress and for her protection against moral and material abandonment---Object of all laws is that ill-used wives and discarded divorcees should not be driven to material and moral dereliction to seek sanctuary in the streets---Islamic ethos and general sociological background for resolution of all such disputes, must be appreciated.
