separate home is right of women given by our religion Islam and duly recognized by family laws in Pakistan.
separate home means a place, where no one, even close relatives of husband can not enter without prior permission of wife.
no law force u to leave your mother, just made arrangements for your wife as stated above, court can not force you for separate house if you cant afford.

if you have provided her a room where she can enjoy her privacy and she is not at all disturbed by any one there (in accordance with your means and resources) then you have met the limits s enjoined by the sharia law.
