The question

Is it permissible for the wife's family to pressure her to go and stay overnight at her family's house in Jeddah, despite her desire to go with her husband and not alone, knowing that the husband has not enjoyed his married life due to the constant interference of the wife's family in their decisions, and their attempts to change the wife's behavior and religious orientations?

The answer

It is not permissible for the wife's parents to interfere in their daughter's and her husband's marital life, except for the purpose of reconciliation. The aforementioned interference and their commanding their daughter to do something her husband dislikes will lead to corruption and a bad relationship, and they should not be obeyed in this. Patience and gentle handling of them are advised, along with soft and gentle advice from wise individuals. The spouses should maintain a good relationship, not be affected by what happens, and increase their supplications for them.
