In my opinion, once a woman gets married, she does not become her husband’s slave, and it is not as if all her moves and behavior must be with her husband’s permission, but only those acts that may be incompatible with the husband’s right to live and inconsistent with his right of enjoyment and pleasure from her, will need the husband’s permission. But, for example, if a woman wishes to travel abroad and her journey will not create any kind of inconvenience for her husband and does not interfere with his rights, he can not prevent his wife from going on her chosen journey. Also, if a man wants to travel and this will be inconsistent with their life together as man and wife and is also incompatible with the woman’s rights, he, too, must acquire the woman’s permission. In simple terms, a husband and wife should behave with kindness towards each other and this is an issue that goes both ways, since marital life is a life shared between two people. Therefore, both parties should behave well towards each other so that they may have a calm and healthy life.

It is our religious belief that neither men nor women are each other’s servants and marriage is not a type of employment, but it is a life shared. Thus, with respect to the protection of each other’s rights, where it is necessary for a woman to get permission, then for the same reasons, it will also be necessary for a man to get his wife’s permission.
