I have been married for two years, and my husband will not tell me exactly how much he earns. He gives me a monthly allowance, and that is the end of it. Do I have a right to know the household income? What should I do?

A wife does not have a religious right to know her husband's exact salary, but in terms of trust and partnership, it is very important. Try to raise the subject calmly. Tell him you are not trying to control him; you want to plan your future together and understand your financial situation so you can be a real partner rather than simply receiving an allowance.

I had the same problem. I resolved it when I told my husband that I wanted to help him save, not hold him to account. His attitude changed completely.

Financial transparency is a foundation of a healthy marriage. Ask for a calm conversation and tell him honestly that the silence around his salary makes you feel like a stranger in your own home.
