Parents preventing wife from living with husband

· 13 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I'm in a complicated situation. I'm married and my husband lives in Pakistan and 4 years I don't see him. I'm want to go there to visit him while I m waiting for the papers for his visa but my problem is that my parents don't want me to go there and they are prohibiting me.

Is it correct for parents to do this?

Answer

After marriage the primary obligation is to your husband.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
