What is the ruling on the father of a betrothed and legally contracted girl refusing her visits to her fiancé’s home to more than once a month, and his refusal for her to attend social occasions before marriage, knowing that the fiancé requests her to visit every two weeks and attend occasions without mixing?
Once the Islamic marriage contract is concluded for a girl, she becomes a wife. However, before consummation, her obedience in matters such as visiting his family or going out with him remains to her guardian, not to her husband. The husband is advised to observe both Islamic law and custom to avoid disputes.
