Article 132 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

Whoever marries an employed woman, knowing this when contracting marriage with her, shall not be entitled to demand that she leave her employment, even if it conflicts with his right. If he demands this of her, she is not obliged to comply with him, shall not thereby be considered disobedient, and his obligation to maintain her shall not lapse.
Arabic original
من تزوج امرأة موظفة وهو عالم بذلك حين عقد زواجه عليها فليس له أن يطالبها بترك وظيفتها حتى لو كانت مزاحمة لحقه ولو طالبها بذلك لا يجب عليها إجابته ولا تعتبر بذلك ناشزا ولا تسقط نفقتها عنه.
