What is the ruling on a wife who disobeyed her religious father and insisted on staying with her drug-addict husband, despite her suffering with him and his divorcing her twice, justifying this by her concern for her son, while her father believes that divorce is the solution?
If a wife chooses to obey her husband and endure his hardships with him, she is not to be blamed for that. Her parents cannot compel her to separate from him; rather, obeying her husband is more rightfully binding. The husband is not permitted to oblige his wife to reside with his family unless she consents. We believe the wife has not erred in her conduct, and her family is not to be blamed for striving for her well-being and that of her children. She should weigh matters and choose what is most beneficial.
