The site did not give complete verse which is as below:
[Talaq 65:6] Accommodate them where you also reside,according to your means, and do not harass them to make it difficult upon them; and if they are pregnant, give them the provision till they deliver their burden; then if they suckle the child for you, pay them its due; and consult with each other in a reasonable manner; and if you create hardship for one another, the child will get another breast feeding nurse.
[Talaq 65:7] Whoever has the capacity must give provisions according to his means; and the one whose sustenance is restricted upon him, must give provisions from what Allah has given him; Allah does not burden any soul except according to what He has given it; **Allah will soon, after the hardship, create ease. **
Isn’t it what I said earlier. If it is possible.
Separate living is not mentioned in the verse. Provision of residence is.
The person who wrote the article has emphsized right to privacy. Not really ‘separate’ living.
Privacy as your own link says can be provided under same roof. Or attached unit.
But separate house may not be possible in a lot of marriages.
Like I said above, women should make it clear before marrying this intention. And have to be realistic and deal with the issue in reasonable manner.
Putting pressure on man in having a separate house is bound to be futile.
As to not having any obligation to cookng or doing something for parent in laws, the person who wrote that did not give any reference to this position. If that were true then women also should not expect a lot of good from them either these include:
1- Taking care of them in early days of marriage. Like teaching them many ways of life to make them experienced in marital life with their husband.
2- Taking care of them while they are pregnant.
3- Helping with their children.
4- Being suportive of their emotional needs or when they have dispute with husband.
5- Giving them gifts, Jewlary, clothings etc.
It is not their right to expect these also.
What I mean is the negativity brings negativity. With closeness, they get a lot of emotional and monetary benefits.
They also do not end up putting their husband in tough situation if work together with in-laws.
Off course if helping her in-laws hinder her ability to take care of her children or husband then there should not be a requirement.
But just remember, life and relationships are not mathematical equation of two plus two four. Somewhere if someone shows patience, other person will return the favor.
**“Allah will soon, after the hardship, create ease.” **
