Is a husband entitled to demand his wife quit her job, despite making her employment a condition before marriage, and despite his not helping her with household chores, nor allowing her to employ a domestic worker? And is her remaining in her job religiously permissible? And how can she balance between her work and her home, or make use of her time if she quits her job?
