Dealing with a wife who leaves the house without her husband's permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man asks, saying: He orders his wife not to leave the house, but she does not obey him; rather, she leaves the house without his permission. His question is: Is there a specific action in the Shari'ah for dealing with such a wife?

Answer:
Yes, she is required not to leave; she is required to [obey] her husband, and it is not permissible for her to leave without your permission. It is forbidden for her. This is a type of marital defiance, so the deterrent discipline is applied to her until she submits. Yes.
