Rights of a wife - Middle Eastern society

A lady enters the marriage contract through her absolute free choice. No marriage is instituted without her consent.
Where the husband is assigned the right to divorce, wife has the right to seek separation, called khula'. If the husband does not agree to separation, it can and should be enforced through court's intervention.
The household expenditure is to be met by the husband. Wife is not obliged to share, even if she is rich.
She has the right to have a separate dwelling, particularly if the husband possesses means.
She has the right to own property, received through various sources of inheritance, earned or enhanced through gainful investment.
She has the right to ask for a maid/servant to do household chores, and can not be compelled to do these job as a matter of obligation.
Like her property, she is the "owner" of her body, which legally means she can not be compelled even to breast-feed her baby. That arrangement is the responsibility of father. But she can never deny bed-sharing unless it was physically not possible. This is just one area in which Shariah compels her to comply with her husband's desire.
As mother, she enjoys priority over her husband to be looked after and served by the children (sons).
