Question
I married recently. However, due to cultural restriction in our community in Gambia, I am not allowed to be with my wife. The family will allow my wife to live with me only after all the cultural restrictions/customs have been observed. Is there any Islamic proof for this?
Answer
The cultural restrictions/customs which prevent your wife from being with you are haraam. Such customs are not permissible. A husband is allowed to take his wife immediately after the Nikah.
