Is the consent of the family required for the wife to return to her husband after a divorce before consummation? And can the unconsummated wife return to him without anyone's consent if she is an adult of sound mind? And what are the implications of her return?

If a divorced woman wishes to return to her husband, her family has no right to prevent her, whether the divorce was revocable (raji) or irrevocable (ba'in). If the divorce was irrevocable—as is the case for a woman divorced before consummation—she is not permissible for her husband except through a new marriage contract, fulfilling its conditions of a guardian and witnesses.
