Q: I am married to a man whose hometown is 200km away from mine. He was working abroad so he promised me not to separate me from my parents before our marriage.

They don't want to let me go to my husband. I am a teacher so, I go to my husband's house only on Saturdays and Sundays. We are married for 3 years and don't have children yet.
