Obeying the husband takes precedence over obeying the parents. As for quarreling among siblings, even in jest, it involves several prohibitions, including: anger, which causes resentment and animosity. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised against anger. Another prohibition is physical contact, which might arouse desire, especially between a male and a female. Additionally, the husband's dislike of such jesting is a factor. Therefore, the wife must obey her husband and refrain from this jesting so that their relationship does not deteriorate.
