The question

Is talk of love and longing between an engaged couple after the marriage contract considered unlawful, especially if it arouses desire? Do the mentioned dreams have any legal implications? And is it permissible for the fiancée to go out with her fiancé secretly if her father refuses?

The answer

Once the legitimate marriage contract is concluded, the husband has the right to enjoy his wife, but custom dictates that intercourse should not occur until after the wedding. There is no sin upon you for the loving words and similar interactions that pass between you. As long as the husband has paid the dowry, he has the right to consummate the marriage whenever he wishes, and you should not be prevented unless there is a valid excuse. If the husband agrees to postpone consummation and requests to leave, and the father refuses, then obedience is due to the father, because before consummation, the wife's obedience is to her guardian. As for dreams, we have no knowledge of their interpretation.
