What is the religious ruling on a husband’s statement made to restore his wife’s dignity, and what is the religious view on his family’s fanatical stance against him and his wife, and their humiliation of them after he praised his wife and described her as “the first lady of the house”?

Do not justify your parents' mistakes by reciprocating their actions, for their rights are great. Your family not inviting your wife is often not an insult; rather, those who are close do not usually require an invitation. Your conduct at the wedding was wrong. You could have appeased your wife secretly, or gently admonished your family.

What is required now is to appease your parents, especially your mother, and strive to mend your relationship with your siblings. Respond to evil with good to foster affection. Deal with your wife wisely and explain to her the importance of being kind to your family and helping you in honoring your parents and maintaining kinship ties.

Note: Your photograph with your brother and your wife is impermissible because your brother is a stranger to her, and wedding celebrations must not include intermingling.
