A person's relationship with their mother is profound, and it should not be severed or met with anger to appease a wife. It is preferable for the mother's relationship with the wife's family to be one of love and communication, but its absence does not affect other family relationships. The wife should help her husband in showing dutifulness to his parents, for she who encourages him to be undutiful sows the seeds of discord. One must be gentle with the mother and try to convince her to communicate, while fulfilling the wife's rights without neglecting the mother's rights.
