Torah observant women must obey their husbands.
As man named all things of which he was given dominion over, he
also named woman. (Bereshith (Gen.) 2:23) Notice for example that he did not name wind, water, or sky.
Bereshith (Gen) 3:16 To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.”
Bemidbar (Num) 5:29 ‘This is the Torah of jealousy, when a wife turns aside under her husband’s authority and defiles herself,
Bemidbar (Num) 30:6 “But if she at all belongs to a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, 7 and her husband hears it, and he has kept silent towards her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself do stand. 8 “But if her husband forbids her on the day that he hears it, then he has nullified her vow which she vowed, and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and  HaShem pardons her. 9 “But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, stands against her. 10 “And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath, 11 and her husband heard it, and has kept silent towards her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself stands.
Bemidbar (Num) 30:13 “Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her being, let her husband confirm it, or let her husband nullify it.
