Is it permissible for a divorced woman to return to her husband without her family's permission, and what is the ruling on reconciliation via telephone, knowing that the husband asked her to return alone and her family refuses this?
If a husband takes back his wife, who was divorced with a revocable divorce, via telephone, the reclamation is valid as long as it occurs within the 'iddah (waiting period). This is because reclamation is the husband's right, without needing her consent or the consent of her family. If the wife leaves her husband's home without his permission, she is considered disobedient (nashiz).
The wife is not required to seek her parents' permission to return to her husband. However, it is preferable for her to try to convince her family and involve wise individuals as mediators.
