What is the ruling regarding a husband demanding that his wife seek permission for every exit from the house, despite him not providing her with housing or maintenance, and delaying the completion of her dowry, knowing that she resides in her family's home and has not been moved to his, and he demands that she quit her job and threatens to leave her in limbo?

The husband's right to seek his wife's permission to leave the house is not established until he has paid the prompt dower, provided marital housing, and maintained her financially. If the husband fails to fulfill these rights, his wife has the right to refuse to surrender herself to him, and his right to seek her permission to leave or travel is not established. She may travel without his permission. However, he has the right to prevent her from working outside the home, unless she stipulated working before marriage and he agreed, in which case he must fulfill this condition.
