<![CDATA[Islam indeed mandates wives to be obedient to their husbands. One of the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) states that if anyone were permitted to prostrate to another human, he would instruct wives to prostrate to their husbands. However, is this obedience absolute, such that all decisions and commands of the husband must be followed by the wife, including in the matter of choosing a presidential candidate? Meanwhile, the state has guaranteed the right to vote and be elected for all citizens, and any form of restriction constitutes a violation of human rights. This study addresses the case of a husband abusing his wife due to differences in presidential candidate preferences in the 2024 election. The data sources for the study were obtained from journals, articles, and other scholarly works relevant to the research. The findings of this study conclude that the obligation of a wife's obedience to her husband is not absolute. Similarly, in determining the choice of a presidential candidate, a wife may vote according to her conscience. A wife will not be classified as disobedient or rebellious to her husband solely because of differing political preferences. If household conflicts arise due to differences in presidential candidate preferences, the solutions that can be implemented include open communication, setting privacy boundaries regarding politics, not easily believing hoaxes, and reminding each other that household harmony is more important than politics.]]>
