Answer

Your father-in-law is incorrect.

Once Nikah has been made, she is your wife. The two of you may go out alone. It is not necessary to wait for the official Rukhsati.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
