There is a cousin brother to my wife who sends forwards to her and also talks to my wife . I have asked my wife to stop talking to him but she is not obeying. My questions are : Is this allowed in Islam ? And should I myself approach this brother and tell him to stop ? Secondly , my wife likes to go out with her mother to do shopping . But she leaves the home without my permission and not notify me at all . She has also mentioned that her family , in particular her mother is more important than me so much so that she is willing to ask for divorce if I stop her from going to her mother . Kindly advise me in this issue .
