What is the ruling on marrying a girl who refuses to live with you in your parents' house?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is the wife's right to refuse living with the husband's family and to request a private dwelling for herself, due to potential harm that might befall her, and her refusal is evidence of that. If the wife refuses to live with the husband's parents, the husband must provide a separate dwelling for her, or satisfy her if he is unable to do so.
