Which is more obligatory: obeying one's parents or obeying one's husband, if the parents command something permissible and the husband commands the opposite?

Obeying parents and the husband is obligatory. If the husband's obedience conflicts with the parents' obedience, the wife must prioritize obeying her husband, because his obedience is more emphasized. There has been a warning regarding obeying him and a threat against disobeying him that has not been mentioned for anyone else.
