Is the husband obliged to return to live with his father and separate from his wife, whom he promised not to leave, especially since she refuses, and is this considered a breach of the covenant mentioned in His (the Almighty’s) saying: "And fulfill the covenant; indeed, the covenant will be questioned about"?
A wife is not obligated to live with her husband's father if she does not wish to do so. The husband must convince his father and provide separate accommodation for his wife, while continuing to honor his father and treat him with kindness.
