What should a husband do if his wife has been angry for two months due to a problem between her and his mother, and her family refuses to return her unless he provides a separate home, which he cannot afford?

The husband must provide a suitable and independent dwelling for his wife. The wife is not obligated to accept living with the husband's family. Independence can be achieved by allocating a room and its annexes within the family home. The husband should be wise in combining dutifulness to his parents and good companionship with his wife, and should strive to mend the relationship between them. He should also explain to his wife that showing kindness to the husband's family and assisting him in honoring his parents are causes of happiness. Divorce should only occur when all other means of reconciliation have failed.
