It is the wife's right to have an independent dwelling, and she is not obliged to live with a co-wife or anyone else. This right is further affirmed if it was stipulated. If the husband offers his wife the choice between living with his other wife or divorce, the wife should weigh the harms of both options and choose the lesser of the two.
