I would be very grateful if you could reply to my message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">My wife and I have been married for nearly 3 years Alhamdulillah. Just over a year ago, we had some marital issues and family from both sides became involved. This family involvement caused damage to relations between families and my relations with my wife s family. My wife and I decided to commit to marriage and give it a go. We still have our problems but continue to try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">However, one issue I am struggling with is that my wife asks me to have better communication and relations with her parents and siblings when visiting their house. I have been taking this on board and have been trying. However, whenever I am around my wife&#8217;s siblings they always seem to have a negative look on their face, avoid eye contact, barely sit when I am in the room, and talk very little. There are 6 of my wife&#8217;s siblings who behave like this. This makes me feel very uneasy, awkward and degrading. My wife says it because of the vibe I give. I have suggested to my wife well if that is the case I am happy to speak to your siblings about this in order to overcome any misunderstandings of any vibes I give and look to clear the air in a calm manner. However, my wife has said she does not want this and if I do this then I should be prepared for an outcome that I won&#8217;t like. I am really struggling with this matter and would be very grateful for some advice\/guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 has said in the Noble Quran, \u201cFear Allah in whose name you ask each other (for your rights), and fear (the violation of the rights of) the family ties.
