Can a Husband Prevent His Wife From Visiting Her Parents?
Question
My husband refrain me from going to my parents house. He said either you stay with your parents or stay with me. I stay abroad alone and I am coming to my home country, he said you wonโt meet your parents. Because he has some problems with my mother, he said you wonโt go meet your parents.
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedIt is not right for a husband to completely prevent his wife from meeting her parents, especially when the parents need her. Despite disagreements, family ties and maintaining relations should be preserved with wisdom and respect. Gentleness, communication, and understanding from both sides are the path to peace in the home.
