Is it permissible for parents to prevent their daughter from going out alone with her husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a wife, with whom consummation has occurred, moves into her husband's home, her parents do not have the right to prevent her from going out alone with her husband. Her husband has more authority over her than her parents, and obedience to him is more incumbent. However, if she is contracted but her husband has not consummated the marriage and she has not moved into his home, then her father has the right to prevent her from going out alone with him.
