Is a husband entitled to compel his wife to move to a new house, despite her strong refusal and her desire to remain in her current home?
The wife is not entitled to refuse to move with her husband to a new, independent dwelling with his family, and she is considered disobedient (nashiz) if she refuses. The marital relationship should be based on affection, mercy, and understanding. It is part of a wife's good companionship to treat her husband's family well and to help him honor his parents and maintain kinship ties.
