The question

What is the ruling on the actions taken by the wife towards her husband and his father, and what are the resulting rights and obligations? Does the husband deserve what happened to him? And is he obligated to return the movables or pay alimony if he is imprisoned, given that she denied receiving the money for the gold when the apartment was returned?

The answer

The reference for resolving disputes is the شرعي () judge, who elevates the disagreement and cuts off the contention. The maintenance of a poor child is obligatory upon his well-off father and does not fall away from him due to his dispute with the mother or her rebelliousness. As for the wife's maintenance, the principle is its obligation as long as she makes herself available. So, if the wife detains her husband due to a legitimate right of hers, then she is entitled to maintenance, because she has made herself available, and the husband is the one withholding through his procrastination and injustice. We advise reaching understanding and reconciliation and avoiding resorting to the courts.
