How can one deal with a wife who reveals the secrets of the marital relationship and daily life matters to her mother, and what should a husband do who feels hatred towards his wife and mother-in-law because of this behavior?
What your wife does by telling her mother everything about the household, especially the details of your marital intimacy, is wrong behavior because it is a disclosure of a secret that is forbidden to spread. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, among the greatest trusts with Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife, and she goes to him, then he spreads her secret." He also said: "Indeed, among the worst people in rank with Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife, and she goes to him, then he spreads her secret." So, you must explain this to your wife and warn her of the consequences of this behavior. If she does not respond, then follow the means of reform with her by admonition, then desertion in the sleeping place, then non-violent beating.
