Question
A father in law calls his daughter-in-law in the evening and speaks for hours on the phone talking nothing of benefit, this after they spent the day having a picnic with his wife and his daughter-in-law whom he has just called. What conclusions can one draw from this?
Answer
It is Waajib for this daughter-in-law to observe full purdah for her miscreant father-in-law. He is no longer fit to be even a partial mahram for her. Her husband must prohibit her from having any contact with his father. If the matter will be left to rot in this manner, the woman will become haraam for her husband (the evil man's son).
