The answer is summarized in the following points:
The ruling on a husband preventing his wife from visiting her relatives, and what she should do if he prevents her, has been previously explained. A husband preventing his wife from visiting her relatives due to anticipation of a future matter is premature. The husband should not prevent his wife from visiting her relatives if there is no valid reason necessitating it. The husband should be the best helper for his wife in maintaining ties of kinship, and they should agree on the best way to raise their children in faith and good morals.
