If the wife does not wish to visit her husband's family, is the husband allowed to permit her not to? Is the wife's visit to her family obligate the husband to reciprocate? Is the husband required to accompany his wife when visiting her relatives? Is the wife obligated to obey her husband if he commands her to visit his relatives? Is the husband required to personally escort his wife when permitting her to visit her relatives?

The husband is not obligated to visit his wife's parents, nor vice versa. However, each spouse's kindness towards the other's family and assisting them in honoring their parents is part of the perfection of good companionship and noble character. If there is kinship between the spouses, they must maintain ties of kinship. This kinship is not limited to visits but can be achieved through communication, correspondence, greetings, and anything that is customarily considered a connection. Spouses should show mercy, understanding, overlook shortcomings, and consider each other's circumstances.
