And is it also OK then that the wife's parents also have the same "great and limited" influence on her marital home as well?, undecided
If the girl owns the house

Now you add conditions for where a parent can assert there "great and limited" rights over their child? Anyways, I see you don't even have your bearings right as far as your claims go. undecided

Mama should stay in her house to avoid controversy, and when she visits, she should not stay too long.
But this shouldn't amount to chasing her out of her son's house and depriving her of seeing her grandkids.

In one of the WhatsApp group I belong to, I wished all the mothers who don't chase their mother in law out of their house happy mother's day. Men you need to see the way the women there came at me. Chai!.

They feel so comfortable chasing their mother in laws out of their house, they forget with time, they too will become someone's mother in law...

A mother-in-law is a visitor at her son's/daughter married home, and like other visitors shouldn't overstay her welcome. undecided

Your mother does not have her own husband’s house? Or if single her own house? Maybe you should focus on getting accommodation for your mother before getting married. undecided

I didn't, left over to you to make your conclusion. Ahbi you want me to tell you she owns the house.
This is simple in a case of divorce or death of a partner, who owns what?
Parents won't stop being parent but husband and wife stop being husband and wife.

I won't chase my MIL, as long as she doesn't constitute nuisance in my home. That means respecting boundaries and not pokenosing into my family affairs. My own mum is not a nuisance and respects herself a lot, so what my mum won't do, I don't expect my MIL to do.

Just change 'His house' to their 'matrimonial/marital home'

The husband & wife form the home.

Your wife has more rights,which means to a degree your mother's input will be needed sometimes.Again,as a man you don't share all your secrets with your wife,there are some that requires ONLY your mother's discretion.
Some MIL can be troublesome no doubts and husbands need to draw the lines in other to maintain sanity in the home.
But there a ways one can try deal with such women,again some mother In laws can be die hard Antagonists.

My grandma is one of such grin grin
But my mom at a point decided to fight back,by coming really close to her even when she doesn't approve.After a point she loosened up,as I speak she is now retired in my parents house as she prefers staying with my mom that the home of other in laws.
