The husband must provide independent housing for his wife. Depriving a wife of her children is an injustice, for she has the right to their custody until they reach the age of seven. A daughter born during the marriage is legally attributed to the husband, and her maintenance is obligatory upon him. If the husband refuses her rights, the wife must take her case to the Sharia court.
