Marriage creates a legal bond that entails specific rights and duties for spouses. Under Bangladesh law, ZCA LEGAL guides couples on mutual responsibilities such as cohabitation, financial support, and fidelity. Husbands are generally obligated to provide maintenance and shelter, while wives have the right to protection and respect. Both spouses share rights concerning property, inheritance, and child welfare. Understanding these legal rights helps prevent marital conflicts and promotes harmony.
