Now that many pakistani muslims are educated about this - what are the reasons for hanging on to the insistence that a wife live with her in-laws. I mean, we can’t very well say it’s Islamic if we know it’s not - so basically now what’s the excuse men give.

Excuses:

1. Poor parents may get sick, they need assistance
2. The husband does not earn enough to provide separate residence for both parents and his family.

It is not islamic or unislamic, it is just social need. Parents can’t be thrown to old homes and then trahsed. Again, if a woman has problems with this setup, she should refuse to get marriaed in the first place. Why marry first, and then biatch all the time???
