The answer

If you did not stipulate work as a condition in your marriage contract, then your husband has the right to prevent you from going out for the purpose of raising the children and taking care of the home, and he is responsible for your financial support. However, if your work does not affect your household duties, then you should reach an understanding with your husband for him to permit you to work, provided that it does not lead to corruption or the loss of a greater benefit.
