The question

Is it permissible in Islamic law for the husband to refuse reconciliation with his wife's family, specifically her mother and sister, and to stipulate that they apologize in his home in front of everyone, even though the wife's mother had previously apologized to the husband's paternal aunt and expressed remorse?

The answer

It is best for the brother to forgive his wife's mother and pardon her, for there is great reward in forgiveness and it is closer to piety, and Allah will increase him in honor and elevation. His forgiveness of her is further emphasized because she is elderly, and because it entails kindness to his wife and living with her in a good manner.
