The answer

If a wife leaves her husband's home for her family's home without his permission and without a valid Shar'i excuse, then she is disobedient (nashiz) and must repent and return. Otherwise, the husband should take the matter to a judge to compel her return. Her return should be without any conditions, unless there is a justification for her refusal to return, such as the presence of one of the husband's relatives in the home. It is forbidden for the wife's mother to incite her daughter against her husband.
