What is the ruling of Sharia on a situation that unfolds between a wife and her husband's mother, where the mother accuses the wife of mistreatment and disrespect, while the wife denies it, leaving the husband in a dilemma between pleasing his mother and not wronging his wife? And what should the husband do so as not to displease his parents while his wife has committed no wrong? And is it forbidden for the mother to ask her son to choose between her and his wife?

Jealousy between the mother and the wife is one of the complex causes of marital problems. To understand this, it is important to realize that the mother's jealousy stems from her feeling that she has lost her son's attention and that his wife has taken her place. To address this issue, the following is required:

1. For the husband: Increase attention to his mother, offering gifts and visits to please her and soothe her jealousy. Obeying and honoring one's parents is a mandatory duty. Balance his love between his mother and his wife. Uphold his wife's rights and not wrong her; he should not obey his mother if she orders him to divorce his wife.

2. For the wife: Deal with kindness, forgiveness, and patience, ignoring her mother-in-law's misdeeds, and trying to offer her a kind gift. Treat her husband's mother as she would treat her own mother.

3. For the mother: Not to disturb her son's life, and to treat his wife as her own daughter. Act with kindness and justice, and avoid oppression.
