Cinderella, re: father/daughter, there is a mitzvah of chinuch. Regarding a wife, there is no chinuch, and quite frankly there isn’t much a husband can do if a wife refuses to listen (I think rav moshe z’l has a teshuva to someone whose wife wouldn’t cover her hair – he paskens, if I’m not mistaken, he is not obligated to divorce her – I believe that was specific question), but he is certainly obligated not to go along. What I suspect Rabbi Kelman was adressing was, silence is tacit approval, and they should not be silent, at the very least.
