The answer

A wife is obligated to obey her husband if he forbids her from working and provides for her, unless she stipulated work in the marriage contract and the work does not involve anything prohibited. Obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to parents in this situation. It is not permissible for the wife to leave her husband's house without his permission. It is advisable for the spouses to communicate and not to rush into divorce.
