What is the religious ruling regarding a wife leaving her husband's home without his knowledge, after she previously instigated a problem and her family ignored the husband's overtures, and how should the husband deal with this wife and her family?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to leave her husband's house without his permission. If she does so, she is disobedient and rebellious, and she must repent. The husband should advise her gently and patiently, and her family should assist him in advising her.
