The answer

It is not the husband's right to spy on his wife or track her missteps without suspicion, nor is it permissible for him to view her conversations with her mother or read her messages without her permission, nor is it permissible for him to insult her or use foul language towards her.

It is not permissible for the husband to boycott his wife's family for more than three nights, nor for her family to boycott her for the same period. The wife should strive to reconcile between her husband and her family, and she should be wary of the impact of discord on her relationship with her husband. She should also not involve her mother and family in her marital problems.

The wife must observe the in front of her husband's brothers, as they are non- to her, and it is not permissible to be alone with any of them.
