The answer

A woman is not permitted to work outside her home without her husband's permission, because her work infringes upon his right, and the right of his child and home. The husband has the right to prevent her from working entirely, and she must obey him in this regard. The husband is also permitted to annul his wife's employment contract, whether it was made after the marriage or before it if he was unaware of it, because her time is owed to his right.
