Is a son's disobedience to his mother considered undutiful if it involves divorcing his wife or disputing with her regarding building, especially given that she threatens to disinherit him and invoke curses upon him if he does not submit to her demands, knowing that she manages a shared property and gives him nothing from its rent?
Obeying one's mother is obligatory, but it is limited to what is righteous. If she commands divorcing a righteous wife, she must not be obeyed. Disputing with her in court is not considered disobedience, but one must still honor her, respect her, and avoid disobeying her.
