The answer

It is not permissible for children to pressure their father to remain in his home, humiliated and subservient to his wife's control, for the sake of preserving the family unit. The rights of parents are among the most emphasized rights after the right of Allah Almighty, and they include righteousness, obedience, respect, honor, financial support, and care, because they are the reason for the children's existence and they exerted great effort in raising them. Allah Almighty has made this right obligatory by saying: "Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good" and "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and to parents, be dutiful." Pressuring the father to become despised in front of his wife is a grave act of disobedience, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, considered parental disobedience among the gravest of major sins.
