The answer

It is the wife's right that her husband provide her with independent housing and its facilities, and she is not obliged to live with his family due to the harm that may result from it, such as their prying into her private matters. Every wife has the right to live separately from her husband's mother and sisters. Disputes between co-wives should be handled with wisdom, and divorce should not be a solution unless no other solutions are available.
