Is a wife obligated to obey her husband if he forbids her from traveling to her home country for work, after he gave her the choice between divorce or continuing in a separated marriage for the sake of the children's welfare?

It is obligatory for the wife to obey her husband in what is permissible as long as the marital relationship exists. It is not permissible for her to go out to work except with his permission, unless she stipulated work as a condition before marriage and he accepted the condition, or if he refrains from providing for her. If the work requires travel, the husband's permission must be emphatically secured. It is advised not to leave the matter in a state of separation; rather, efforts should be made for reconciliation, for reconciliation is best. The continued separation of the spouses harms the wife and the child.
