Q: My husband, my mother in law and myself live together. I don't have a full kitchen of my own but I have kitchenette upstairs with the basics - fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave.
In Ramadhan, my husband says we should all 3 have sehri downstairs because his mother shouldn't be eating alone. I responded saying that if he would like he can go downstairs for sehri but I will be having sehri upstairs as I don't see why I should have all meals together all the time.
Islamically am I entitled to have some meals separately. Please advise.
Q: If the husband is not in favour of keeping his mother in law for an extended time, should a wife convince him or leave it?
Q: I miss my mother alot. My husband, due to his issues with extended family, is living in the same house and does not take me to visit my mother. He does not allow me to stay with her. He is keeping me away from my mother. I don't feel loved here and I am trying to build relations here but my mother is also very sickly and she misses me as well.
I know that I have to obey my husband but it gets very tough as he goes to his mother house whenever he wants and sometimes I'm alone and get depressed. He visits his parents for about 3 days in a week. He does allow my mum to come over but she is not very comfortable. Please advise me.
Q: I wanted to share something about my parents and wife. My parents are not treating my wife well, we all stay under one roof. They say that you both (me and my wife) are equal to them, but when it comes to something they always consider me alone and not my wife. I always raise my voice against this but this leads to a disturbance at my home.
During Covid, I’ve been working at home since then and sometimes I wanted to take my wife out once in a month and that too creates issue. My parents say only you can go and not your wife.
She always wakes early and completes all her work of home but my parents don't even let her go to her own home. This is cruelty and I don't think Islam taught us this way.
