For this reason the Shariah requires a man, as head of the family, to consult with his family and then have the final say in decisions concerning it. In doing so, he must not abuse his prerogative to cause any injury to his wife. Any transgression of this principle involves for him the risk of losing the favour of Allah, because his wife is not his subordinate but she is, to use the words of the Prophet, the "queen of the house", and this is the position a true believer is expected to give his wife.' ( Muslim Wedding Quotation cited from Doi, Women in Sharia, 10) 4- Classical Shafi school of Muslims has opinion that: “A woman is not obliged to serve her husband by baking, grinding flour, cooking, washing, or any other kind of service, because the marriage contract entails, for her part, only that she let him have sexual relationship, and she is not obliged to do other than that.” ( Quotes on marriage, Reliance of the Traveler, tr. Keller.) 5- A modern Nigerian Scholar says: “There is no woman who removes something to replace it in its proper place with a view to tidying her husband's house, but that Allah records it as a virtue for her. Nor is there a man who walks with his wife hand in hand, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for him; and if he put his arm round her shoulder in love, his virtue is increased tenfold.” ( Quotes on Marriage cited from Doi, Women in Sharia, 10)
