The Husband’s Right to Obey and Enjoy His Wife in Jurisprudence, Its Role and Effect on the Couples’ Mental Health

Abstract

One of the most important issues in the field of jurisprudence and family law, with a significant impact on the balance and mental health of family members, is the issue of couples’ sexual rights. One of the most essential aspects of sexual rights is enjoyment and compliance, which are covered in jurisprudence and law. The fulfillment of this issue among couples could have a significant impact on their mental health and the stability of the family foundation. The present study was fundamentally investigated using a qualitative approach based on jurisprudential, legal, and psychological documents. Exercising the right to obey and enjoy has been stated in significant legal examples such as religious acts, non-religious activities due to the presence of the wife in the society, leaving the house, or leaving the country, etc., which are important in the context of the family. The findings of the research indicated that the application of each of the mentioned examples and titles in the formulation of a healthy marriage, as well as the application of balance and limitation of each of its elements, are the most important spiritual effects to play an effective role in mental health (such as: creating mental peace due to satisfaction of the couples, providing empathy, providing adaptations based on persuasion of the spiritual needs of couples, etc.). One of the most essential and influential issues in the couples’ mental health is the spiritual satisfaction resulting from marriage, and the proper application of the rights of enjoyment, compliance, or conditions will have significant consequences.
