What are the wife's rights after her divorce, and to what extent is it obligatory for her to remain in the marital home with her daughter during the waiting period (iddah) and thereafter, especially after a companionship that lasted 43 years?

A husband should reflect carefully before pronouncing a divorce, as Islam encourages the continuity of married life due to the private and public interests it entails. The husband is advised to reconcile with his wife if the divorce is revocable, and he should know that women are not free from imperfections. The questioner is also advised to seek reconciliation and to introspect to identify the reasons for her husband's aversion and attempt to rectify them. If reconciliation becomes impossible, then the divorced woman has her rights, whether the divorce is revocable or an irrevocable major divorce.
