Is living with elderly parents is unacceptable by women?
Assalamualaikum.
I'm from Morocco and I'm currently on the look for getting married however I live with my elderly father and I can't leave him alone even if I can afford renting. I talked to potentials but they rejected the idea to live with him under one roof, also not even temporarily before being able to buy our own housing.
My question is... Is this some new western trend that was adopted lately by muslim communities? Are we now expecting the husband to give up on his elderly parents in order to satisfy the wife's needs to have her own housing? If so, should men in this situation wait for his parents to leave this world in order for him to be accepted by women and eventually get married?
It looks to me like this is the cherry on top. Women are becoming more demanding, while the world is evolving in a way that makes it harder for men to even consider marriage, let alone afford it.
