Forbidden to Go Home to Visit Her Family

Join Megan Wyatt as she answers Wives of Jannah community member marriage related questions from her inbox. This episode addresses a friend who is emailing in with concern. She has learned that a husband is preventing his wife from traveling back to the country she grew up in to visit her family. She is asking if this is allowed in Islam and if the structure of marriage in Islam is set up to easily oppress wives because men have the final say on matters in the marriage.    To ask a question of your own visit: www.wivesofjanah.com/askaquestion 

Om Podcasten

The goal of Wives of Jannah is to strengthen Muslim women and their marriages through Islamic based relationship coaching, programs, written work, and resources like this podcast. What guides me in my work are three words: mouda, rahmah, and sakinah- the three words used in the Qur'an to describe marriage in chapter 30: ayah 21 - those translate to love, mercy, and tranquility. Marriage is something you learn while in it which means none of us arrive in our relationships knowing exactly what to do. I hope this podcast can offer you some insight from my relationship coaching experience starting back in 2009. - Megan Wyatt
