Sister-In law Trouble

My sister-in law is showing no inclination towards returning home. No..no she hasn’t run away or estranged with her husband. She had gone to her visit her maternal uncles and aunts. She has been raised by them and she lived with them before her marriage. She was to return around 15th. When ever my in laws call her, she says she will be coming in a day or two. Yesterday she called my younger brother-inlaw, but didn’t speak to anybody else ( me, my mother inlaw, father inlaw). That’s a little unusual. In Indian families, it is customary and compulsory for a daughter inlaw to return to her husband’s house whenever summoned. And here she is, defying the orders. She has never done that before. I wonder what is the message behind this behaviour? Or is there any?
My mother inlaw had to go on a visit to her home village, but she couldn’t.
