Question

if a woman is displeased with her husband regarding sth that he did, how should she handle it so as not to be ungrateful? Does she have the right to show it to him by ignoring him(still serve him, but not talk a lot or joke)to avoid a dispute?

Answer

This depends on the severity of what the husband actually did. It also depends on the individual, the environment, times and the understanding that both spouses have.

Sometimes, ignoring the husband will work for some, but not for others and sometimes ignoring the husband may even be detrimental and make the problem worse. It is best for the individual to use his/her discretion considering their understanding amongst one another.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
