you have all the rights to go to your home and spend time with your parents and relatives along with your daughter.
For this you and your husband should go for counselling to get better life.
It's very easy to separate husband and wife but very tough to make them reunion. if you need more detail opinion then call me on my cell.

A daughter in law’s legal rights in her in law’s house are the same as her husband’s rights. Whatever is his, is hers.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR HUSBAND HAS NO RIGHT TO PREVENT YOU FROM GOING TO MEET YOUR PARENTS IN LAW FULL MEANS. AND SINCE YOU ARE LIVING WITH YOUR HUSBAND IN THE SAME HOUSE YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS, YOUR MATRIMONIAL RELATION SHOULD NOT GET STRAINED AT ANY RATE. YOUR HUSBAND'S APPREHENSION MAY BE RIGHT OR WRONG BUT YOU HAVE TO PROVE THAT YOUR INTENTION IS TRUE, MANIFEST IN THE THE LOVE AND AFFECTION OF DAUGHTER'S INTEREST FOR HER GRAND PARENTS. AND YOU HAVE TO REST ASSURE THAT THERE IS NO INTENTION TO SEPARATE YOUR DAUGHTER NEITHER FROM YOUR HUSBAND NOR FROM YOUR IN- LAWS. HERE YOUR JOB IS TO CONVINCE YOUR HUSBAND IN A POLITE WAY FIRST, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS NEXT. MY SUGGESTION IN THIS REGARD IS TO LISTEN TO YOUR HUSBAND AND TRY TO AVOID WEEK END VISITS TO YOUR PARENTS' PLACE, LET WHAT SOEVER BE THE UNHEALTHY ATMOSPHERE CREATED BY YOUR HUSBAND AND IN-LAWS. THE MOMENT YOU LISTEN TO YOUR HUSBAND AND STOP GOING EVERY WEEK AND TRY TO MAKE YOUR TRIP TWICE OR THRICE IN A MONTH WILL CERTAINLY IMPROVE HARMONY IN YOUR FAMILY.

YOU MAY ALSO TRY THIS WAY, MEETING YOUR PARENTS BY WAY OF ASKING YOUR PARENTS TO VISIT YOUR MATRIMONIAL HOME THERE IS EVERY LIKELIHOOD THAT THE STRAINED RELATION BETWEEN YOUR PARENTS AND YOUR IN-LAWS WILL CERTAINLY GET CHANGED IN THE PASSAGE OF TIME. THE MODES OPERAND I I HAVE ADVISED WILL HOPEFULLY BRING SEA CHANGE IN THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE WITHOUT THE SHADOW OF DOUBT.

AFTER FOLLOWING THE ABOVE SAID DOS & Don Ts. NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED APPRECIABLY, AND YOUR HUSBAND IS VERY AGGRESSIVE IN THE ABOVE SUBJECT IN QUESTION, YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR MATTER IN MY MAIL OR WELCOME TO INTERACT, PREFERABLY IN THE EVENING AFTER 5 P.M. REMEMBER THERE SHOULD NOT BE IRRETRIEVABLE BREAKDOWN IN MATRIMONY. "NO WONDERS ARE WROUGHT IN OVER NIGHT" "NEITHER THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA OR ROME WAS BUILT IN A DAY. TRY TO WIN THE HEARTS OF OTHERS IN YOUR FAMILY BY YOUR CONDUCIVE BEHAVIOR.

When a husband restricts his wife from meeting her parents, it can be a sensitive issue. Here's what you can do in such a situation:
  1. Open Communication: Try to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about your desire to meet your parents. Share your feelings and reasons for wanting to see them.
  2. Mediation: If communication fails, consider involving a mediator, such as a trusted family member or friend, to help facilitate a conversation and resolve the issue amicably.
  3. Legal Recourse: In many countries, including India, women have the legal right to maintain contact with their parents. If your husband's actions become extreme or abusive, you can explore legal options to protect your rights.
  4. Islamic Perspective: In Islam, there is no general prohibition on a wife visiting her parents. In fact, Islam encourages maintaining family ties. If your husband is using religious reasons to restrict you, consider seeking guidance from a knowledgeable religious scholar or cleric to clarify the situation from an Islamic perspective.
  5. Seek Support: Reach out to support groups or organizations that specialize in women's rights and domestic issues. They can provide guidance and resources to help you navigate this situation.
  6. Counseling: Marriage counseling or therapy may be beneficial to address underlying issues and improve communication between you and your husband.
