The Ruling on Breaking a Husband's Oath

Question
A man swore by God that his wife would not go to her family's house for a week; he did this to provoke her without reason, so she did not obey him and went to her family. What is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She was obligated to obey him and not to disobey the husband's command, and he must perform the expiation for the oath, and God knows best.
