What is incumbent upon the family after the wife traveled to join her husband, given that her young daughter's shameful behavior, related to honor and frequenting mixed-gender places, has come to light, especially since the mother used to beat her daughter and call her mentally ill whenever she spoke about these matters?
The wife is obligated to protect her husband in his absence. If it is proven that she frequents mixed-gender cafes, smokes, or commits any act that impugns her honor, then she is disobedient and negligent in her duty to her husband.
The religious duty of anyone who becomes aware of this is to offer her gentle and kind advice, explaining the error of these actions. The words of a young girl are not sufficient to prove these actions, but they do raise suspicion.
It is not advisable to raise the issue now. Instead, the husband can be encouraged to always have his family with him for the benefit of raising the children.
It is the wife's right that her husband does not absent himself from her for more than six months without her permission. The wife should be careful to avoid any situation that raises suspicion and ill-will towards her.
