Re: [Islamic Ruling] Woman's right to separate housing
However, as explained in the first post, while the wife has a right to a separate "dwelling", according to the rules, it doesn't necessarily have to be a separate home. If the husband can afford it, they can have multiple homes in different parts of the world.
I have seen families that do that....and that usually works out the best.
oh and....May Allah bless your friends for having their wife's parents live with him. :) Not too many guys like that around.
