What is the ruling regarding a woman who has been irrevocably divorced remaining in the marital home after the expiry of her 'iddah, and her refusal to move to another residence prepared for her by the husband, given the husband's desire to live in his own home?

A divorced woman, after her iddah (definition) (waiting period) expires, has no right to maintenance (nafaqah (definition)) or housing (sukna). However, if she is the custodian (hadinah) of children and has no dwelling, the preponderant opinion is that her housing becomes obligatory upon the father of the child. Therefore, as long as you have provided your children and their mother with suitable housing, she has no right to remain in your house. The ultimate decision in such disputes rests with the Sharia (definition) court.
