The answer

Serving one's father is a form of filial piety, and it becomes obligatory if he needs it or commands it in what is right and lawful. However, the husband has a greater right to obedience than the father. Therefore, the wife must seek her husband's permission to serve her father. If he grants permission, then that is good; otherwise, she must obey her husband. Her unmarried sister is more obligated to serve her father.
