The answer

The wife's family are in the wrong for preventing her from returning to her husband and for demanding the key to his house. It is obligatory for the wife to return to her husband and obey him. The husband's obedience takes precedence over the obedience of parents in matters related to marriage. The husband should strive to reach an understanding with his wife, clarifying the obligation of her obedience, cohabiting with her in a good manner, and prioritizing the interests of her home. If that does not work, he should involve wise people to speak with her family. The husband has the right to prevent his wife from visiting her family and to prevent them from visiting her if they are corrupting her against him.
