Question
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatu. There are Hadiths like a woman who is unjustly ungrateful will go to Jahannum or the one who divorces without a Valid reason or someone who has arrogance they all will not enter Paradise, does this mean that they will be in Jahannum forever and secondly does a Wife have to obey her Husband if he keeps in his home like a prisoner I know wife needs permission to go out but in this case I mean if he NEVER allows her to go out without any reason
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
There is evidence in the Sunnah that a woman's denial of her husband's benevolence is one of the reasons for her entering Hellfire.
Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “O women give charity and seek forgiveness as much as possible, as I have seen you as the most of the people of Hellfire.” A woman among them said, “O Messenger of Allah, why is it that we are the most people of Hellfire.” He said: “You curse much and you are ungrateful to the favors of your husbands.”
There is also evidence that a woman's asking her husband for divorce for no reason may be a reason for her entering Hellfire. The Messenger of Allah said: “Any woman who asks her husband to divorce her for no (valid) reason, the scent of Paradise is forbidden to her.” [At-Tirmithi and others]
But this does not mean that the promised deprivation of the smell of Paradise or entering Hellfire as well as eternity in it must be fulfilled. The threat of Allah to the disobedient Muslims by torturing them for major sins may not be fulfilled, as Allah forgives what is below Shirk as Allah Says (what means): {Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.} [Quran 4:48]
The Muslim does not abide in Hellfire forever by simply committing a sin unless it is disbelief or Shirk that takes a person out of the fold of Islam.
The saying of the Prophet in the Hadith: “… the scent of paradise is forbidden for her…”, some scholars interpreted it to mean that she does not find the smell of paradise when the good doers first smell it, and other scholars interpreted to mean otherwise. To conclude, she does not abide in Hellfire just by committing a sin, as we have already established.
