Am I obligated to host my husband's mother in my home, despite her causing me psychological and nervous harm and her desire to create problems between me and my husband?

It is the wife's right to reside in an independent dwelling where she is not harmed, and she is not obliged to live with her husband's relatives. She is also not obliged to agree to her husband's mother living with her in her home. We advise patience, understanding with the husband, and tactful handling of his mother.
