The answer

A husband must provide suitable and independent housing for his wife, in which none of his relatives share with her. This also includes travel if the duration of stay is long, taking into consideration the husband's capability and financial situation, the wife's needs, and what is appropriate for the customs of the time and place. The wife should consider her husband's circumstances and his relationship with his family, and bear some hardship if the period of stay is short, because understanding and kindness between spouses are more important than merely adhering to rights and duties.
