The answer

If you tell your sister or anyone else about your brother's call to your husband, a triple divorce will occur, leading to an irrevocable divorce (al-baynunah al-kubra) according to most scholars, even if your sister knew of your brother's desire for the call. The husband erred by disclosing your brother's secret, as it is a fundamental principle that gatherings are built on trust.
