What is the ruling on a wife who prioritizes the interests and dignity of her family over her husband, under the pretext of honoring her parents? And is the husband sinful if he divorces her due to a blow to his personal dignity, despite the presence of children?
A wife must treat her husband well due to the immense nature of his right over her. He is her maintainer, and his right takes precedence over the right of her parents when there is a conflict. Similarly, the husband should treat his wife's family well and forgive their mistakes, repelling them with what is better. He should not rush to divorce as long as there is a solution to the problem, especially when there are children. The wife should recognize her husband's right and treat him well to attain the virtue of obeying her husband and entering Paradise.
