If the wife did not stipulate living in a specific place, can the husband settle her in any country or area,…

Answer

In the name of Allah, the choice of residence is in the hands of the husband, and the wife must obey him in selecting the place of residence. However, the husband is obligated to provide a living place that is appropriate for the wife, in accordance with her status, as it was in her father's house before marriage. If the husband is unable to provide her with an appropriate place of residence, and the wife and her guardian (father or grandfather) are aware of this and still agree, then the wife must submit to living under her husband's care as he chooses, even if the residence is not as suitable as her father's house. Allah knows best.
