Is it permissible for a husband to sell the marital home, which he owns, without his wife's knowledge, given that she is rebellious (nashiz) and refuses to fulfill his rights and see her daughter?

The aforementioned verse pertains to a divorced woman in her ' (waiting period). She is entitled to housing provided by her husband during her 'iddah, and it is not permissible to expel her unless she commits a clear act of immorality. The husband is permitted to dispose of his house by selling it without requiring his wife's consent or permission, especially if she is disobedient (nashiz). It is forbidden for the wife to prevent the husband from seeing his daughter. The husband is responsible for his daughter's maintenance and for providing her with housing until she marries.
