How can a wife deal with her mother's interference in her marital life and her engaging in actions that annoy the husband, while wishing not to displease either party?
The mother's right over her children is immense. However, it is not permissible for a daughter to prioritize obedience to her mother over obedience to her husband. Similarly, it is not permissible for a mother to interfere in her married daughter's life except for the purpose of reconciliation and admonition. A mother's interference can have positive effects, such as guiding her daughter, but also negative ones, potentially leading to the ruin of the daughter's home. Reasons for a mother's interference might include her strong personality, the weak personalities of the daughter and her husband, overwhelming emotions, the husband's injustice, or frequent visits from the daughter. To counter negative interference, one should directly advise the mother, admonish the father, subtly hint at restricting visits, foster understanding between the spouses, occasionally consult the mother, and reduce visits and calls.
