Possible Vulnerabilities Faced By The Husband During And After Divorce
No system, Islamic or secular, can safeguard a marriage if the individuals within it lack sincerity and integrity. In Islam, the husband’s role as qawwam (head of the household) is not a symbolic label but a responsibility tied to providing, protecting, and guiding the family, while the wife likewise carries clear moral and practical duties such as maintaining harmony, respecting her husband, and safeguarding his trust. If a wife neglects these responsibilities or behaves manipulatively, Islam does not leave the husband without recourse; rather, it outlines a structured and ethical process for accountability. The Quran prescribes respectful communication first, followed by family-based mediation, and if necessary, involvement of community scholars or arbitration. A wife who persistently violates her obligations is not beyond correction, and the husband retains the right to seek resolution or, if the situation becomes harmful, separation. Islamic marriage is ultimately a partnership with defined roles and mutual accountability, designed to prevent either spouse from holding “all the rights and none of the responsibilities,” ensuring fairness rooted in taqwa and justice. If the matter proceeds to divorce, and manipulation can be proven to the court’s satisfaction, the court may issue decisions in the husband’s favor regarding alimony or the reasonableness of child support. However, as with all legal matters, not every case can be conclusively proven due to human and resource limitations. A believer understands that this world’s justice is imperfect, and ultimate, complete justice awaits in the hereafter; this conviction is part of what distinguishes a faithful Muslim from one who does not believe and gives him the courage to face the trials of this world.

However, in our country if a man does act, the woman can go to courts and the whole situation would turn against him and he would be painted as the aggressor and be deemed punishable
