I have a question regarding wife right about asking separate home for herself (do not want to live with husband parents). Does Islam give such rights to women? Is there verse from Quran to quote? and if husband want to divorce his wife just because demand of separate house.

This isn’t a Qur’anic reference but an aalim addressed a similar question:
Do I Have a Right to Live Separately From My In Laws? | Mathabah
Re: Separate House for Wife… Quran Reference.
It is a woman’s right to be “housed” separately from anyone other than her own husband. The minimum criteria is to have her own room. It is better to have her own toilet/bathroom and kitchen facility, because this is where the interaction between family of husband and wife happens - not really the room. She does not have the right for a “house” because these matters are dependent on finance. However, she completely has the right to stay away from her in-laws if that helps her in living her life without concern. Privacy is more important.
A husband should not divorce his wife for the demand of a separate house. She should seek khula if this presents her with a burden too much for her to bear. But the husband should keep his tongue and soften her and give her a lot of love in other ways to make up for the deficiency she is experiencing. Even if he is going mad with her complaints and constant nagging about having a separate house, even if she demands him for a divorce - he should not give it. He needs to explain that x, y and z reasons why it might not be possible or feasible to get another house and she should respect that, but to divorce her for that reason is stupidity and he will be accountable for his action on the Day of Judgement. He can tell her to seek a khula herself but that he will not divorce for such a petty thing.
Although divorce is “halal” it is not liked because it puts people in to hardship and injustice. Learn to overcome conflicts because the sweetness of conflict resolution far outweighs the bitterness of the conflict … but many people neither give themselves a chance to overcome hurdles in life nor do they challenge themselves to do so. A man should only consider divorce for infidelity - that is a major sin - e.g. having an affair, etc. Even then it should be done in a way with rahma.
