FIL/BIL - Mehram or not?

I have one friend where it’s not that easy. Her husband does not TELL her that she can’t leave the room, but her FIL believes that he should not SEE the FACE of any na-mehram, and his DIL becomes a na-mehram, so if the FIL is in the living room, she can’t go out there.

Whole arrangement makes no sense to me, because the husband lives in another state for work and travels back and forth, and as her FIL and MIL don’t know how to drive, she drives them around. Weird, I guess her FIL doesn’t go out of the home then, because he’d have to sit with his DIL.

Just bizarre.

This is especially bizarre, because DIL is mahram of her FIL.
