This book contains various references in the Qur'an and Hadith with regard to the behaviour of a wife and consider these within the context of the Islamic view of marriage and the family. It should not be overlooked that the basic moral tteachings of islam are addressed to both men and women. Eventhough this booklet is focusing on the wife, it does not mean that such teachings are for women only.For example where the Qur'an enjoins modesty on women it is coupled with another verse enjoining modesty on men.
