The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is a right of the woman to meet her family and other relatives; her husband has no right to prevent her. She will not be held responsible when she meets her female relatives.
However, it is necessary to solve the problem without being obstinate with each other and disturbing peace in the family.
