Re: [Islamic Ruling] Woman's right to separate housing
I think the link in the first post answered and explained the issue very well.
two situations :
Husband and wife living with parents. (parent's residense)
Parents living with son and daughter in law. (son's house)
I guess there could not be an objection in second case. A man can keep parents in his house at will if they need constant attention and care. Wife can not object in this situation, its his house, his parents and his responsibility. Wife has no rights to speak against this arrangement.
In the first case, the house is not the property of husband and thus he has no authority over who may live in that house. There can be some OR many *Na-mehram *relatives living in that place. In this situation a muslim woman can feel un-easy and forsee violation of her privacy, and can rightly demand separate lodging from husband according to his means and status. I see no wrong in this demand.
