Rights of Marriage partners

Thus marriage could be considered a partnership in which the principle parties have been assigned different but complementary roles consisting of rights and corresponding responsibilities. In order for family life to flow smoothly, each partner must fulfill his/her part of the partnership. Neither has the right to demand of their responsibilities are not fulfilled. Allah has given general guidelines concerning the role of each partner in the following Qur'anic statement:
meaning:
''Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the former more than the latter and because they (the former) support them from their means. Therefore, the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in their husbands' absence what Allah would have them guard.''

Rights of marriage partners

Just as individual members of society are entitled to certain rights and are subsequently responsible for fulfilling certain obligations within society, family members are entitled to certain rights and obliged to fulfill certain obligations within the family structure. The prophet (S.A.W.W) outlined the general hierarchy of responsibility in society in the following statement narrated by Ibn e Unar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the prophet said,
meaning of hadith:
''Verily every one of you is a shepherd and every one of you is responsible for hes flock. The Amir is shepherd over the people and shall be questioned about his subjects (a to how he conducted their affairs). A ma is a shepherd over the members of his family and shall be questioned about them. A woman is a guardian over her household and shall bee questioned as to how she managed the household and brought up the children. A slave is guardian over the property of the property of his master and shall be questioned about it (as how he safeguarded his trust). Verily, every one of you is a shepherd and every one shall be questioned in regard to his flocfk.''
