Islam does organize the family life and the relationship between husband and wife but there no right for the husband to stop his wife from meeting her family or usual friends who don't harm her faith and behaviour. Working of the wife depends on its nature, so if her work does not prevent her husband from his rights as a husband, then it is allowed for her to work, and vice Versa.
