My Mother Doesn’t Like My Wife; What to Do?

12 June, 2022
Q Assalamu alaikum, my mom hasn't liked my wife since I married. It’s been 7 years .Now my sister is also against my wife. But I am ok with my wife. They are making a lot of reasons throughout my marriage.

Now my sister had a WhatsApp argument with her and now they are talking to each other. I am in the middle of their fight and don’t know what to do. Now my wife told me not to talk to my sister anymore bcoz she literally hates anything in her. I cannot handle this. I'm completely helpless even when I talk to them. It's not working. What am I gonna do now?

Answer

Finding yourself in the middle of the fights between your wife and mother is quite distressing. 

If you have a good relationship with your wife, assure her of your  love, support, and understanding.

Try to speak with your mother and sister, and help them find out the source of this conflict. 

It’s never too late to rectify past mistakes and confusions.

Remember your family members that  holding a grudge is not part of the Sunnah, and guide them towards a peaceful outcome.
