The question

Is the wife entitled to claim the dowry (jewelry and deferred portion) while preventing the children from seeing the husband's family, fabricating problems, demanding that he distance himself from his family, and claiming the advance dowry and gold he borrowed from her, in addition to her work salaries with which she helped him?

The answer

Marital life is sustained by understanding, good character, and overlooking mistakes. The wife must obey her husband in what is right and avoid the words of corruptors, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is not of us who incites a woman against her husband." The wife has the right to demand her mahr, deferred dower, and whatever she lent to her husband, whether she is obedient or disobedient (nashiz). However, she is not entitled to maintenance in the case of disobedience, and she does not have the right to prevent her children from visiting his family.
