Hi.
I've checked in Cambridge Online Dictionary.
Husband is /ˈhʌz.bənd/.
So, it is going to be /z/ instead of /s/.

-I'm a learning teacher from Asia-

I know the dictionary version. How did you pronounce the word before you consulted the dictionary, husband or huzband?

I've only ever heard 'huzband from native speakers.

Dictionary is your best friend. What is written in the dictionary is how a native speaker is going to pronounce. Maybe the difference here is the accent. If you pronounce it with /s/,it is inaccurate. It is not wrong.

In AmE it is pronounced with a 'z'.
