Husband calling his wife "lord"

· 4 Rabiʻ I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If my husband is in anger and he continuously says that you are my lord, of course he doesn't think like that, does it affect anything? He was referring to me. In this case what should we do? Do we have to renew our marriage?

Answer

No. The word lord can also have the meaning of a leader, great person, etc.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
