The answer

Allah Almighty has made it obligatory to honor and be dutiful to one's parents, even if they are disbelievers. It is not permissible for a wife to cut ties with her family; rather, she must maintain kinship ties with them, honor them, visit them, inquire about them, and be patient with any harm they may inflict. For, the occurrence of ill-treatment from relatives does not negate their right to kinship ties. The husband should assist his wife in fulfilling this duty and encourage her to do so.
