The answer

Every wife has the right to suitable housing according to her status. The wife is not entitled to demand housing superior to her status, nor is she obligated to accept anything less than her status. She may refer the matter to the court if the housing is unsuitable for her. Both spouses are advised to work towards the stability of their marital life, mutual respect, consultation, and fulfilling their rights; in order to achieve love and mercy.
