The answer

A rebellious wife (nashiz) is one who leaves her husband's home without his permission, and she must repent and return to her home. The husband has the right to prevent his wife from working unless she stipulated this condition during the marriage contract. If the wife, who did not stipulate such a condition, refuses her husband's request to quit her job, then she is considered rebellious (nashiz).
