The answer

You must obey your husband by remaining in your independent lodging within his family's house, so long as you are not subjected to harm. However, it is better for him to permit you to stay overnight at your family's home unless there is corruption in doing so. The foundation of the marital relationship is compassion, understanding, and overlooking [faults].
