Question

I did not attend a very close family function as my husband asked me not to, for certain reasons with my uncle. Now everyone's upset because I wasn't allowed to go and are saying I should have attended, who should I listen to? My husband or my mother, I am very confused as they have argued on the phone about it. How do I please Everyone? Without hurting them, please advise on all my questions.

Answer

After marriage a woman should listen to her husband.

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