If the car's price was a loan, then it must be repaid to the wife, and she has the right to demand it. However, if it was a gift and she received it with her permission, then she has no right to demand it. The wife should be kind to her husband's parents and obey him in visiting them, unless the visit causes her harm or annoyance. The number of visits is determined by custom.
