Is a wife defiant for calling her mother without her husband's knowledge, or for refusing to return to her home after an argument between her father and her husband, and does a husband have the right to prevent his wife from receiving her family in her home?
- There is no harm in the wife calling her mother when she feels sick before childbirth, unless the husband forbids her and orders her to call him instead.
- For the wife to go to her family's house and refuse to return to her husband's house without a valid excuse is impermissible.
- Obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to the father.
- The husband has no right to abuse the wife's father, and he should have fulfilled his promise to her to allow her to go to her family's house for childbirth.
- The father was not right in seeking to divorce his daughter due to the husband's abuse of him.
- It is not obligatory for the husband to go to the wife's family's house to bring her back if she left without his permission, but it is preferable for him to do so.
- The husband does not have the right to prevent the wife's mother from visiting her in her home, unless he fears that she will corrupt the wife against him.
- It is advisable to be patient with the husband, live together amicably, strive to reconcile him with the wife's family, seek harmony, and avoid anything that causes discord.
