You have asked whether a husband would be able to prevent
his wife from embracing the divine light or a wife dissuade her husband from
gaining entry into the Kingdom of God. In truth neither of them could prevent
the other from entering into the Kingdom, unless the husband hath an excessive
attachment to the wife or the wife to the husband. Indeed when either of the
two worshippeth the other to the exclusion of God, then each could prevent the
other from seeking admittance into His Kingdom.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet;
The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Women)
