The answer

If the husband's father lives with the couple in a single house with shared facilities, then the wife has the right to demand separate housing. However, if the wife has a separate dwelling within the house, she does not have the right to prevent her husband from accommodating his father in it, unless the father is harming her. In that case, she has the right to demand separate housing away from him. The husband must be dutiful to his father, and the wife should be kind in this matter. It is preferable to be patient and remain with him in the house.
