Subject: Word for 'harem revolt' Query

Would someone be able to tell me if there was a word used in 12th century
Islam for "harem revolt?"  I read from a questionable source that there was
a word for it, "nusuz."  It appears to be in no modern Arabic dictionary,
however--which is understandable because there ARE no harem revolts now!
