How is it possible to deal with a domineering and materialistic mother-in-law and with the husband’s family who visit and interfere frequently? What are the husband’s duties towards his wife in such cases? Is the wife’s desire to spend private time with her husband considered a sin? What is the ruling on supplicating against the mother-in-law? And is it a sin to think about moving with the husband to another city?

It is advisable to be patient with the husband's mother and to respond to her ill-treatment with kindness. If the husband fulfills his duty of providing for his family, then the wife has no say in what he gives to his mother, unless it involves injustice to him or extravagance. Among the etiquettes of visiting are choosing the appropriate time and not causing annoyance by repeated visits. It is recommended to frequently supplicate to Allah to avert the evil of the husband's mother and her daughters, and to seek the husband's help in this, while trying to control the doorbell sound. There is no harm in the spouses spending private time together, and the husband should choose the appropriate time for that. It is permissible to supplicate for the aversion of an oppressor's evil, but one should not exceed the bounds in supplicating against him. If a father grants a house to his son with a legitimate justification or with the consent of the other heirs, there is no harm; otherwise, it is an inheritance to be divided. There is no harm in moving to another city if the husband wishes to do so.
