The answer

It is the wife's right to have an independent dwelling, and this does not constitute disobedience to the husband's mother. The mother's maintenance and service are obligatory upon her husband; if he is poor, then upon her children, and they should compete in honoring her. The brother should also be advised on ways to manage anger to avoid its negative consequences.
