What is the ruling on a husband selling the marital home that his father gifted to him, and him authorizing his father to do so without his wife's knowledge, and what is the correct action to take with a wife who mistreats his family, refuses to obey him, and prevents him from seeing his daughter, while the husband remains attached to her hoping for her reform?

If the wife stipulated residency in her country before marriage, then she is entitled to her condition. Otherwise, she must obey her husband in moving with him wherever he wishes. If she requests a divorce without a valid reason, she is sinful, and the husband has the right to refuse divorcing her until she waives some of her rights. The wife does not have the right to prevent her husband from seeing his daughter, and in case of dispute, recourse should be made to the court.
