Question
I live in a two room apartment with my husband and in -laws. There is no privacy whatsoever. Is it not my Islamic right to have a separate home?
Answer
According to the Shariah, it is the right of the wife to have her own apartment / house where she can enjoy her privacy without in-laws interference. The husband is obliged to make a separate arrangement for his wife.
