Answer
Based on official Jordanian legal texts
The Jordanian Personal Status Law gives the husband rights balanced with the wife's, united by one foundation: mutual good companionship. Article 77 makes it incumbent on each spouse to treat the other well and kindly and to exchange respect, affection, and mercy and to preserve the family's interest.
Article 78 provides that the husband must not prevent his wife from visiting her ascendants, descendants, and siblings in a reasonable manner, and that the wife is to obey her husband in lawful matters — obedience being confined to the lawful, not otherwise. Article 74 addresses controls on who lives with the spouses, and Article 75 on cohabiting with another wife, in a way that preserves the husband's right in the marital home and balances it with the wife's right.
The husband's rights are thus tied to his duties: there is no obedience in disobedience to God, and no right that extinguishes the other party's right.
Assessing the limits of these rights and the extent of any breach remains within the Sharia Court's competence on the facts of each case.
This is a general explanation based on Jordanian Personal Status Law and does not replace advice from a qualified lawyer in a specific dispute.
