Also, quite a few husbands confide in themselves about the bad things about their wives or their families. This behavior of displaying disgrace often causes problems and results in breakdowns in households and legal cases. This research aims to find out the law of maintaining husband and wife's disgrace amidst information disruption. This research method uses qualitative, the data is obtained from library materials. The data analysis uses the theory of mutuality or mubjadi. This research concludes that the law of protecting each other's disgrace between husband and wife is an obligation. On the other hand, the law of exposing one's partner's disgrace is haram. The exception to being allowed to reveal disgrace is in the context of testimony revealing the truth. Meanwhile, without a strong reason, exposing your partner's disgrace is a sin, especially during increasingly unstoppable information disruption. In mubindah theory, husband and wife have an obligation to protect each other and provide happiness for their partner. That husband and wife should cover each other and take care of each other's disgrace. This is in line with Surah Albaqarah verse 187 which emphasizes that husband and wife are like clothes, namely protecting each other and covering up the bad things between them.
