You say:

&quot;Yeas he can go rebellious against his own family when he gets involved in a crime just like we have been discussing about a woman.even if he is the head of the family, is still a human being and can make mistakes. does not become God,does he?&quot;

No dear, it is not the question of crime, but of obedience and loyalty to the head of the institution, i.e., the husband.  He being husband is duty bound to maintain his family and if he fails in that duty he can be tried under the common law of the land and coercive measures can be adopted by the court to make him fulfill his duty.  There are instnces where husbands have been sent to jail even if they fail to provide maintenance in compliance with court's orders.  But mind this cannot be called 'nashooz' in terms of Islamic Sharia.

Now the question is if the husband cannot beat his wife who is 'nashooz' and neither is there any law to punish her for her rebellion against her husband what the poor husband is to do as the head of the family to save his family from breaking up.  It is easy to say he can divorce such a wife forthwith, but it has many practical difficulties, especially, for the urban middle class.  As for the village tribal society this leads to 'karokari' against which the feminists raise much hue and cry these days without suggesting any solution of the problem, created apparently by the movement for women empowerment under the influence of the western culture where family has lost any 
importance whatsoever.  In England, it is said, about 40% couples are living together today without any formal marriage.  The young men here also are becoming increasingly wary of 
formal marriage which is becoming gradually more disadvantageous for them.  As it is we are perhaps moving fast to a serious sex-crises.[/quote]
