Is a husband entitled to compel his wife to accommodate his mother with them in their home, doubling the financial support for her, and threatening her with divorce if she refuses, despite the wife contributing half the price of the house and covering the furniture costs, and the prior agreement being to provide an independent residence?

It is obligatory for the husband to spend on his wife according to what is customary, without any right to her money unless she volunteers it. It is permissible for him to spend on his mother, even if she is not in need. The husband must provide an independent dwelling for his wife, and he has no right to force her to live with his family unless he allocates an independent dwelling with its facilities for her. The husband is advised to be dutiful to his mother and to live with his wife in kindness, and the wife is advised to be understanding and cooperative with her husband. In case of disagreement, wise people should intervene to reconcile between them.
