The question

Is it obligatory for a husband to continue in a marriage and deal with the interventions and impossible demands of his wife's family, or is divorce the solution given that the father refuses to return his daughter except under impossible conditions, knowing that the wife wishes to return and both parties are in love?

The answer

A wife has the right to demand a separate dwelling. However, if she agrees to live with her husband's family, then her father does not have the right to prevent her from doing so. She is not obliged to obey him if he orders her to separate from her husband, because obedience to her husband is more incumbent upon her. The husband is advised not to divorce his wife, and wise individuals can mediate to reconcile them.
