Is it permissible for the wife to visit the home of her maternal aunt and uncle after six years of marriage, in violation of a prior condition of not visiting except out of necessity, and the husband swore an oath to his wife that she would be forbidden to him if she did so, knowing that the husband justifies his stance due to the unlawful dealings of her maternal aunt's and uncle's family regarding greetings and dress?

A pre-marital prohibition is void and does not result in divorce or an oath. There is no impediment to the wife visiting her aunt's house with her husband's permission, as long as no شرعي (-compliant) prohibition arises from it. The wife is not a محرم (unmarriageable kin) to her male cousin (son of her maternal uncle or aunt); rather, she is أجنبية (a marriageable stranger) to him.
