The answer

The answer advises the wife to be patient and help her husband in his obedience to his parents, and to understand that the parents' request may stem from their feeling of loneliness. It also recommends the wife to be intelligent and strive to find solutions, and to gently discuss with her husband the balancing of rights between the wife and his parents, citing the hadith of Salman and Abu Darda: "Indeed, your Lord has a right over you, and your soul has a right over you, and your family has a right over you; so give each one who has a right his due." The answer suggests visiting the family or hosting the husband's family to strengthen bonds and overcome difficulties.
