Is a person considered disobedient to his mother if he travels with his wife for a week alone, and does his mother have the right to know the details of their outings and daily excursions, despite their independence in a separate home?

The rights of parents, especially the mother, are an affirmed religious duty. However, this does not mean neglecting the rights of others. A balance must be struck between the rights of the mother, the wife, the family, and oneself. It is not obligatory to inform the mother of every detail regarding the wife's treatment, nor is it obligatory to treat them equally in every action. The mother's outings or travels can be arranged in a way that suits her and alleviates her loneliness, and it is preferable for siblings to cooperate in this matter. Strive to balance these rights and pray for success.
