If so, please explain how far back does the woman has to stand behind the man?
Answer
It is compulsory upon a male to perform Salaat with Jamaat in the Musjid. If
he has a valid excuse for not doing so, he will be excused.
In such a situation, he may perform Salaat with Jamaat with his wife. It
suffices that she does not stand in line with him.
