<![CDATA[Islamic texts that talk about fulfilling the obligation to serve husbands for wives are often understood biasedly by couples, and even seem to ignore the protection of wives' reproductive rights. Husbands often do not understand the condition of their wives, which often results in unilateral prosecution of rights by arguing that the wife is a sin if she does not serve her husband, under any circumstances. Several existing texts are used to reinforce this attitude. This is different from Kyai Husein Muhammad, who has another opinion, that the wife has the right to refuse sexual relations. Here it appears as if there is a paradox and conflict in the interpretation of religious texts. This article analyzes Kyai Husein Muhammad's perspective in interpreting religious texts with the aim of providing protection for wives' reproductive rights in the family.
