We have been married for 5 years now, we have a 3 yr old daughter and she happens to be the only grandchild of the family and majority of the time we have been staying abroad. Now we are visiting India after more than 4 years. My parents have visited us a couple of times when we were abroad and Inshallah they will keep on visiting.
Please let me know if my decision of having separate homes is correct.
Jazakallah khair.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
The problem you are facing is common nowadays amongst young couples.
You should not divorce your wife solely for the reason that she and your mother do not get along well, especially in view of your child.
From what you have mentioned, it seems that your decision of having separate homes is correct and a solution to your problem. You should therefore build up the courage to find a separate accommodation and live separately.
And Allah Taʿālā Knows Best
