Is the husband considered unjust to his wife if, after returning her to her family and her requesting a divorce, and the waiting period (iddah) has ended, he does not send an arbiter from his family due to his inability to communicate with her? And what is the ruling on the wife returning after the waiting period (iddah) has ended if her mother swore she would not return? And what is your advice regarding marital disputes that involve the wife's deception, the interference of her family, and her poor relationship with the husband's sisters?

You have not wronged your wife by divorcing her, especially if she requested it. If her waiting period (iddah) has ended, she becomes a stranger to you. If you wish to take her back, try to convince your mother. If she agrees, then praise be to Allah. Otherwise, the general rule is to obey your mother, unless you fear being tempted by her.
