Does a husband have the "right" to deny his wife to attend her parent's (mother or fathers's) Janaaiz?
Answer
It is indeed surprising for such a question to be asked. The occasion of death is definitely a sensitive one, especially, if it is one's close relative. It is, therefore, unthinkable for one to prevent his wife from attending her parent's Janaaza (funeral)
