Salaam. I am a 28 year old married Bangladehi Muslim girl. I have completed education till masters and am working. I would describe myself as an independent minded girl but I have the intention of following Islamic rulings.
I have been living with mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law (who will get married soon inshaallah) since my marriage for last 3.5 years. My husband requested for this and I agreed with good intention. My in-laws are very good people, care for me, give me my own space and never misbehave with me. My husband is very loving and caring and I love him with all my heart. We haven't taken a baby yet.
But over the time, I am feeling the need of my separate territory. Even with good relationship, sometimes its hard to match mentality with other people. I do not mean that I want to live far away from my in-laws but I would like to live next door to my mother-in-law. We would meet and greet and care for each other everyday but that way I would be the lady of my household and she will be of her's.
My husband is not willing to live even next door to his mother. I know in Islam I should keep my husband happy but I am also an educated girl of this century and I have my own optinions. Do I not have the Islamic right to demand separate lodging if I ever feel that I definitely do not want to live and raise my children (inshaAllah) in the same house with my mother- in- law anymore? And would my husband be labeled as a bad son if he takes care of his mother by living next door to her?
