The answer

What the wife did by refusing to travel with her husband and depriving her parents of seeing their daughter is impermissible, and she must fear Allah. It is advisable to address problems with advice, patience, and kindness, citing the noble verse: "Repel [evil] with that which is better," and the saying of Al-Busti: "Be kind to people and you will enslave their hearts." Regarding the judicial dispute, one must fear Allah in it and strive for reconciliation if possible. The maintenance of the young daughter remains obligatory upon the father. Finally, working in commercial insurance institutions is forbidden, and the wife must repent from it and dispose of the money earned from it in charitable ways.
