The court ruled, stating: "The court has ruled that so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, must submit to the obedience of her husband, so-and-so, after it was not established that there was any bad treatment in the marital relationship. If she does not submit, her maintenance, including food, clothing, and housing, is dropped from her husband." She obtained a legal certificate based on this, and now she is in her father's house. I intend to marry another woman soon, after learning that she and her family are determined on divorce and that it is impossible for her to return to the house of obedience. They have repeatedly asked me to divorce their daughter, so I told them, "Pay half of what I lost, and you may divorce your daughter." They refused that. Now I ask for an interpretation of the ruling, the duration of the ruling's validity regarding the wife, and whether I have the right to retain this certificate until they pay me the costs, without incurring any sin for doing so?
