The answer

The wife's continued stay with her family after her husband's departure, despite his desire for her to join him, is not an act of disobedience to his parents. The wife has the right to independent housing, and she cannot be forced to live with her husband's family except with her consent. Independent housing means that the wife has a suitable portion of the house separated with its own facilities. If living in the family home causes problems, there is no harm in independent housing, while still observing the obligation to honor and treat one's parents kindly.
