Is it permissible for the husband to take his house key from his father after the father expelled the husband's brother and his wife from the house without the knowledge of the couple, and brought his married daughter and her family to live in it without the knowledge of its owners, knowing that the couple fears this might be an act of disobedience?

There is no harm for a husband to take his house key from his father, and this is not considered disobedience. It is stipulated that if a father takes from his son's wealth, he should not give it to another child. The husband must be dutiful to his father, treat him gently, and avoid angering him as much as possible.
