Obedience to the Husband in Cutting Off Family Ties

Question
Her husband restricts her visits to her grandfather's house to infrequent occasions, while her father insists on her visiting her grandfather's house regularly. Fearing a conflict between her father and grandfather, she wishes to visit her grandfather without her husband's knowledge. Is it permissible for her to go without her husband's knowledge?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The original rule is not to go to her grandmother's house except with her husband's permission, and God knows best.
