You’re again conflating gentile customs with Jews. You are relating non-Jewish customs (if it is even a custom by them, as you claim), not Jewish ones.
The Rambam says, in general, that a wife “serves him” and that Chazal command that she “honor her husband to an extreme degree and the fear of him should be on her and she should do all her deeds according to what he says and he should be in her eyes as a ruler or king.” Also see the Rashi I quoted above.
