Providing one's wife with separate quarters
Question
I am in a little confusion. I can't make up my mind. My in laws are visiting us for 3 months that includes my sister in law and father in law. My mother in law had passed away. My husband wants me to live in the same house with my brother in law and his wife along his father and sister. We will have our private rooms but will share the kitchen and lounge. I am not willing to live in the same house as I think its against my privacy. I am demanding to provide me a separate home. Am I wrong here? Or saying this to my husband is wrong?
Answer
He should provide you with a private sleeping quarters, kitchen and lounge that is correctly separated from the rest of the house.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
