The preponderant view is that a woman has the right to stipulate residing in her country and not leaving it. However, a man is advised not to agree to this condition. If the woman insists on it, he should leave her and seek another, because residing in the lands of the disbelievers carries immense risks to religion and morals, and is only permissible in specific cases and under defined regulations.
