Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the conditions of suitable lawful housing?
- Independence (standalone home, private bathrooms and kitchen, private entrance), basic equipment (furniture, kitchen tools, A/C, electricity and water), safety and cleanliness, suitable location, and matching the level.
- When may the wife refuse to move?
- In cases: unsuitable home, sharing with family without her consent, non-payment of prompt mahr, or risks to her (a violent husband, harmful environment). Legitimate refusal continues with full maintenance entitlement.

- Independent housing per wife (fairness), no combining two wives in one home except with their consent, equal level for all, and each wife's right to refuse sharing. Breach of fairness opens the right of annulment.
