Is the fiancé entitled to prevent his fiancée from completing her university studies at a university that he deems to have a corrupt moral atmosphere, especially after he had agreed to her first university?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A wife must obey her husband after she moves in with him and he begins to provide for her. However, before that, while she is in her father's house, under his guardianship, and supported by him, she is not obligated to obey her husband, because obedience is in exchange for financial support. Therefore, the wife is not obligated to obey her husband in quitting her studies at the aforementioned university, unless the university is unsuitable and there is concern for her well-being there. In that case, she should be forbidden from studying there as a matter of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.
