The civil marriage generally forces the wealthier spouse, "breadwinner", to provide alimony to the former spouse, even after separation and also after a divorce (see also Law and divorce around the world). The legal status of marriage allows each spouse to speak on the others behalf when one is incapacitated (e.g., in a coma); a husband is also responsible for his spouses child(ren) in states where he is automatically assumed to be the biological father. Religion
Christianity
In Christianity, according to the Bible, a husband in a heterosexual marriage has a number of duties:

To present his bride to God throughout their lives as perfectly holy and virtuous as can be. To protect his wife with his own life, physically, emotionally and "spiritually". To "lay down" his life, counting her more important than himself. To lead his wife and his family into the best things for them. To be the best that he can be in Gods power. To not withhold his body from her. Islam
In Islamic marital jurisprudence, husbands are considered protectors of the household and their wives. As protector, the husband has various rights and obligations that he is expected to fulfill and thus is offered opportunities different from that of his wife or wives, not only in legal and economical affairs of the family but within the family as well. As in most cases in Islam law and culture, everything is being related to the Quran. Many Muslims may agree on a perfectly equal relationship.
Differential diagnosis
A renal colic must be differentiated from the following conditions:
biliary colic and cholecystitis
aortic and iliac aneurysms (in older patients with left-side pain, hypertension or atherosclerosis)
interstitial: appendicitis, diverticulitis or peritonitis (in this case patients prefer to lie still rather than being restless)
gynaecological: endometriosis, ovarian torsion and ectopic pregnancy
testicular torsion

Treatment
Most small stones are passed spontaneously and only pain management is required. Above 5 mm (0.20 in) the rate of spontaneous stone passage decreases. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as diclofenac or ibuprofen, and antispasmodics like butylscopolamine are used. Although morphine may be administered to assist with emergency pain management, it is often not recommended as morphine is addictive and raises ureteral pressure, worsening the condition. Vomiting is also considered an important adverse effect of opioids, mainly with pethidine. Oral narcotic medications are also often used.There is typically no antalgic position for the patient (lying down on the non-aching side and applying a hot bottle or towel to the area affected may help). Larger stones may require surgical intervention for their removal, such as shockwave lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Patients can also be treated with alpha blockers in cases where the stone is located in the ureter. References
