===Wife in Islam===
[[Women in Islam]] have a range of rights and obligations (see main article [[Rights and obligations of spouses in Islam]]). Marriage takes place on the basis of a [[Islamic marriage contract|marriage contract]]. The [[arranged marriage]] is relatively common in traditionalist families, whether in Muslim countries or as first or second-generation immigrants elsewhere.

Women in general are supposed to wear specific clothes, as stated by the [[hadith]], like the [[hijab]], which may take different styles depending on the culture of the country, where traditions may seep in.<ref>{{qref|24|31|b=y}},{{qref|33|59}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.renaissance.com.pk/novq12y1.html|title=Clothes|access-date=2 May 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924085957/http://www.renaissance.com.pk/novq12y1.html|archive-date=24 September 2015}}</ref> The husband must pay a ''[[mahr]]'' to the bride.<ref>{{Qref|4|4|c=y}}</ref>

Traditionally, the wife in Islam is seen as a protected, chaste person that manages the household and the family. She has the ever-important role of raising the children and bringing up the next generation of Muslims. In Islam, it is highly recommended that the wife remains at home although they are fully able to own property or work. The husband is obligated to spend on the wife for all of her needs while she is not obligated to spend even if she is wealthy. [[Muhammad]] is said to have commanded all Muslim men to treat their wives well. There is a hadith by [[Al-Tirmidhi]], in which Muhammad is said to have stated "The believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the best character and the best of you are those who are best to their wives."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.al-islam.org/women-islam-versus-women-judaeo-christian-tradition-myth-reality-sherif-muhammad-abdel-azeem/divorce |title=Divorce |work=Women In Islam Versus Women In The Judaeo-Christian Tradition: The Myth & The Reality |access-date=August 6, 2018 |first=Sherif Muhammad |last=Abdel Azeem}}</ref>

Traditionally, Muslim married women are not distinguished from unmarried women by an outward symbol (such as a wedding ring). However, women's wedding rings have recently been adopted in the past thirty years from Western culture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zawaj.com/articles/westernized.html|title=Articles and Essays About Marriage in Islam|work=zawaj.com}}</ref>
