What is the ruling on a wife who stipulated residing in her country and refused to live in her husband's country after he agreed to her conditions, given that she is stubborn, ill-mannered, and disregards his anger?

If the wife stipulated in the marriage contract that she live in her country, then this condition must be fulfilled. She has the right to annul the marriage if it is not fulfilled. If there was no such condition, the husband has the right to house her in any country that provides her with suitable accommodation. The defiant wife with a sharp tongue should be advised to strive against her lower self, to cultivate good manners, to be aided in strengthening her faith and worship, and to be dealt with patiently, overlooking her slip-ups, while not neglecting her good qualities, and seeking Allah's help.
