What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on a husband who does not wish to live with his two wives because they do not desire to be close to his family and refuse for his mother to live with him in his house?
It is the wife's right that her husband provide her with independent housing and its facilities, and she is not obliged to live with his family due to the harm that may result from it, such as their prying into her private matters. Every wife has the right to live separately from her husband's mother and sisters. Disputes between co-wives should be handled with wisdom, and divorce should not be a solution unless no other solutions are available.
