What is the solution for dealing with a brother’s wife who appears in inappropriate clothing before her husband’s brothers, and deals rudely with her husband’s sisters while showing them kindness and endearment, which has negatively affected her brothers’ relationships with their wives, and should this reprehensible act be abandoned?
Muslims must advise one another. Therefore, the brother's wife must cease from forbidden actions such as exposing her body or speaking provocatively in front of her husband's brothers and offending their wives. The brother must prevent his wife from mingling with non-mahram men and from offending his sisters. The parents must take a stand regarding their son's wife's behavior, and the husband's brothers must avoid sitting with her.
The brother's wife must maintain her modesty, chastity, and lower her gaze, and adhere to her full hijab in front of non-mahram men, especially her husband's brothers. She must adhere to the rulings of Islamic law in her speech and appearance so that there is no softness or provocation, and avoid wearing perfume whose scent spreads and is noticed by non-mahram men, and refrain from seclusion and mingling with any of her husband's brothers.
The husband must be responsible for his wife, and advise and guide her towards good. The parents and the husband's brothers must fear Allah, lower their gazes, and avoid mixed gatherings.
