Q: Can a husband force a good Muslim wife to live with her brother in-law and mother in-law in a small apartment. She also faces so many unusual unhappy situations when she lives with them that makes her unhappy, she loves her husband. She wants to know is it ok in Islam for a Muslim wife to live another apartment with her husband and children if her husband does not agree with the wife to live in another apartment-- is it a sin for that muslim wife if she makes him agree to live in another apartment. She wants to live with her husband with respect and dignity.
A: If it is that she is really uncomfortable with them and she requests to live separately in a way that he does not ignore his parents and serves them well then she will not be sinful.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
