What is the ruling regarding the action of a wife who left the marital home and went to her family's home merely because she had not gone to the market for four days, knowing that she visits her family's home twice a week, and then cursed and insulted her husband? What is the advice for the husband in this situation, and can he file a lawsuit in court?
If the reality is as described, then the husband is rebellious (nashiz), and the treatment for his rebelliousness is outlined in Fatwa no. 30586. Efforts should be made to involve wise individuals from the family for arbitration. If reconciliation is not achieved, the husband may refer the matter to the Sharia judge.
