What is the ruling on my staying in my family's home and refusing to return to my husband's home until he provides me with independent housing, given the continuous interventions of my husband's family and my inability to tolerate the situation?

A wife has the right to an independent dwelling with its basic amenities, in which no one else shares. She has the right to refuse shared accommodation with his family. We recommend attempting a calm understanding with the husband, and involving some wise individuals to convince him and his family not to force her into living with them.
