The answer

The wife has the right to an independent dwelling, and it is not permissible to compel her to live with her husband's family except with her consent. The wife's kindness to her husband's family, overlooking their mistakes, and assisting him in honoring his parents are considered good manners and a sign of a good marital relationship. The foundation of the marital relationship is mutual affection, compassion, understanding, and consideration of circumstances. The wife should gently discuss her desire for privacy with her husband, and the husband should wisely consider this without displeasing his parents. It is not permissible for the wife to leave her husband's home except with his permission and out of necessity. Divorce is not a trivial matter and should not be resorted to unless reconciliation is impossible. Remaining together and living amicably is preferable to separation.
