The answer

If the husband stipulates that his wife live with his family and she agrees, then she has no right to demand a separate dwelling, especially if the husband is unable to afford it. However, if he does not stipulate this, or if there is harm in living with his family, then she has the right to a separate dwelling. It is preferable to consider the husband's situation and be patient.
