What is the legitimate Sharia solution for the problem of a pregnant woman who neglects her home and husband to please her mother, who insists on her staying to help her sister and refuses her return to her home? And would she be considered disobedient to her parents if she returned to her home?
The husband's right takes precedence over the parents' right when they conflict. It is preferable to try to persuade the mother gently and seek help from close relatives. Nevertheless, obedience to the husband is obligatory, even if it leads to the mother's displeasure, while striving to appease her. Family ties must be preserved, and one should avoid corrupting them with the whispers of Satan.
