Question:
Is the husband entitled to prevent his wife from visiting her relatives or his relatives?
Answer:
This requires a distinction: if there is harm involved, then he is entitled to do so; otherwise, he is not. If there is harm, such as there being no good among them, or they hide things from him, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if there is no such issue, he should not prevent her. Would he order her to sever family ties and be undutiful to her parents?
Q: What if there are widespread wrongdoings at her relatives' place?
A: Even so, she visits them but does not witness the wrongdoings. He should advise her not to witness the wrongdoings, and she should not abandon her parents.
