The wife's family has no right to obligate the husband to sign a financial bond or to prevent her from returning to her husband's house without just cause. The wife's obedience to her husband in this matter is more obligatory than her obedience to her parents. The husband should treat his wife well and fulfill her rights, and it is advisable for two arbitrators to intervene to reconcile between them.
