The answer

A husband does not have the right to force his wife to live with his family. If she refuses, she has the right to live in a separate home, as she may be harmed by them. It is your right to demand a separate dwelling from his children by the other wife. If the husband refuses, you have the right to leave the house until he provides you with a separate dwelling. If his refusal persists, you have the right to seek a divorce, with the reminder that divorce should only be resorted to after all means of reconciliation have failed, and that overlooking and compromising are preferable to separation.
