Can a woman be imam when praying with her husband? Can she stand next to him?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I understand why a woman should not lead a group of men in prayer for good reasons, but why can’t she sometimes be imam with her husband? why should she stand behind him? is the prayer not accepted if she stands next to him? Thank you.

Answer

A wife cannot lead her husband in Salaat.
