The answer

A woman should not live alone due to her vulnerability and the fear of wicked people preying on her, especially in this era where religious commitment has diminished and tribulations have become widespread. Therefore, she should be patient with the problems caused by her brothers' wives and try to resolve them through forgiveness or by involving her brothers, until Allah facilitates relief for her.
