Subject:	husband's obligations of the wife

Are there any hadith and/or rulings in this regard?
Answer:	The husband is obliged to provide his wife with food, clothing and housing in conformity with her social status and dignity; dignity meaning the same level of life that she had before marriage. In this regard, the scholars share the same view.
