Is the wife sinful if she leaves her parents' house after a dispute with them due to their rejection of her prolonged conversation with her traveling husband, and due to previous disputes regarding her frequent outings with her family despite her husband's disapproval, knowing that her mother is angry with her and describes her as disobedient?
A wife is not permitted to leave her parents' home without her husband's permission, whether he is absent or present. The parents do not have the right to prevent her from having prolonged conversations with her husband. Obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to parents in case of conflict, unless there is a legitimate شرعي reason for the prohibition. It is preferable for her to try to fulfill her or her husband's desire without displeasing her parents. If the wife moves to a safe place with her husband's permission, there is no sin upon her. However, if her parents prevent her for a benefit or to avert harm, then their obedience becomes obligatory. It is usually in the wife's best interest to stay in her parents' home during her husband's absence.
