Is it incumbent on the fiancée to obey her fiancé?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is it incumbent on the fiancée to obey her fiancé?

Answer:
When the woman settles in her husband`s house, it is incumbent on him to provide for her and it is incumbent on her to obey him. Before that, and if the marriage contract had been concluded, then she is lawfully his wife and thus she should abide by custom in treating him, but if the marriage contract hadn`t been concluded, then she should treat him as a non-Mahram(Marriageable ).

This answer was collected from the official government Iftaa Department of Jordan.
