The answer

A woman is permitted to leave her home without her husband's permission in specific situations, such as going to a judge to seek one of her rights. This is supported by the hadith of Hind bint Utbah with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. In the commentary on Sahih Muslim, it states: "This indicates the permissibility of a wife leaving for a fatwa or for judicial matters, even without her husband's permission." What the questioner seeks, which is to appoint a lawyer to litigate for her right, falls under this category, especially since she will leave with her husband's permission, but will only conceal from him the reason for her departure.
