What is incumbent upon the wife's father if his daughter wishes to visit her family, after he had uttered a phrase he doesn't specifically recall, whether it was an oath or a divorce comment, and he intended to frighten her by it, and since then the wife has not visited her family?
If your mother went to her family's house, then your father must offer an expiation for an oath (kaffarat yamin) because an oath was made and there is doubt about the object of the oath. This is considered an oath by Allah Almighty as long as the one who swore is a Muslim.
