The Husband's Failure to Spend on Matters Other than Food and Drink
A woman complains about her husband's failure to spend on anything other than the necessities of food and drink, and he does not consider clothing, medical treatment, or attending family events, which has led to great distress due to mistreatment and has affected the mental state of the wife and children. How can she resolve this issue?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Anything beyond food, drink, shelter, and clothing is considered a luxury. The wife can request these luxuries from her husband kindly; if he provides them, that is good and well, otherwise, she must be patient. And God knows best.
