Q: My situation is that we are two brothers and two sisters. All are married. Now when our first elder sister got married. Even though she has been married in the same city, our parents are making them live here in our home for the last 5 years without any reason.
The same happened to our younger sister. She's also living here with her husband. Now our home is a two bedroom house. We are also married.
Things were getting messy all the time. We discussed the matter with our parents but they won't listen to us.
Today we (brothers) got a bit more angry and asked them to let their daughter's live at their In-laws which is good for them. But they said they are not going anywhere and you may go leave the house with your wife's.
I swear to Allah that we have been always gentle to our parents and took care of them. I know our demand is totally compatible with Sharia, social values and custom's of society. Please guide me what should I do.
