How should a wife behave when her husband is suspicious of her family's home, and she absolutely refuses to live in her uncle's home, and what should she do if her husband insists on that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

An independent dwelling is a right of the wife, and it is not permissible for the husband to house his wife with his family unless she consents. If the husband refuses to provide an independent dwelling, the wife has the right to refuse to live with him and to remain in her family's home. She may also request a divorce due to harm if she is harmed by the prolonged stay in her family's home and the husband refuses to provide a dwelling.
