I behave extremely irrationally, get very angry, upset, and argue with my husband around the time of my periods. I get extremely depressed and this is causing me great concern. How can I apologize to my husband, and how can I solve this problem? I need help.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

It is known that the lady excretes a hormone during menses that is not present at normal times.  This hormone causes the woman to be in a different mood due to her unsettled psychological feelings.

So, many women suffer during this period from nervous and psychological problems.  See your physician for diagnosis and treatment.

However, despite this the woman should know how to control herself and how to avoid any act or deed that could harm her husband.  Indeed the right of the husband upon his wife is great.  Isn’t he her most intimate companion?

Now if the woman happens to behave in a strange way towards her husband, she should ask him to forgive her.  But the husband should also take into account the state of his wife in such periods.  Allah Says (interpretation of meaning) addressing men: {…And live with them honourably….}[4:19].

Allah knows best.
