Re: [Islamic Ruling] Woman's right to separate housing
Well we were discussing it and obviously when you're speaking in terms of a separate kitchen and the like, then likely you pretty much have a complete separate residence.
Also, what we came up with was the fact that times have changed and the way houses are built these days and accomodations work, it's a lot easier to acquire a complete separate residence than somehow accomodating it all under a single roof.
The only exception that we could think of where a wife shouldn't demand a separate residence is when the husband is under financial difficulty and has to move back with his parents or something along those lines.
Besides, if he really cannot afford to fulfill such requirements/rights, then why get married in the first place? Why not wait till he's financially stable and then get married. Should he then somehow lose his job and has to move in with his parents, then that would be a different scenario.
Anyway, that is more or less what we could come up with.
