ANSWER:

It’s the responsibility of the husband to provide house and everything that his wife and kids need and Allah has given him the role of a leader of his household which he cannot fulfill if he lives with his wife’s family therefore he should have his wife move in with him after marriage and not the other way around.

But for almost 300 years there is a custom here that after marriage that husband moves in to the wife place and lives with her in his in laws’ home. only this year scholars r opposing this custom but our people are refusing.i m abt to get married.pladvice
