The answer

What is written in the list of movables is the wife's right. If the wife requests a divorce without a valid reason, the husband has the right to refuse divorcing her until she relinquishes her right or a part of it. The wife has the right to an independent dwelling, and she cannot be forced to live with any of the husband's family members except with her consent. Not providing an independent dwelling is considered a valid reason for requesting a divorce. If the husband stipulates that the wife lives in his family's house for one year until he provides her with a dwelling, she has no right to demand an independent dwelling before the year expires, unless she suffers actual harm. The court decides on the matter based on what is proven to it.
