Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu
If the wife does not keep quiet during an argument, the husband should keep quiet and move away from the wife. he cannot slap or push her in order to keep her quiet. In that instance, his intention would not be to reform the wife but to prevail over her in an argument. A man is emotionally stronger than women. The husband should contain himself and overlook the wife’s outburst during an argument.
