Paying a woman a big Mahr and forbidding her from visiting her family


A: It is not permissible for a person to prevent his wife from visiting her parents even if he pays her a Mahr that is worth a mine of gold; because showing dutifulness to parents is obligatory in the shari`ah. Allah (Exalted be He) says, And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.
