My Late Sister’s Son Slapped My Wife – Should I Ask Him to Leave?

I dread returning to work after Jummah, but that day I ignored my wife’s call to focus on the imam’s sermon. When my mother rang, fear gripped me and I rushed home. After my sister passed away, our family agreed her son Taofeek would live with my parents. I later took him in to honour her memory and give him a stable home. Taofeek seemed to settle in, but soon slipped into a rebellious phase. He ignored chores and pushed boundaries. When my wife confronted him, she smacked him and he slapped her back. I’ve set strict rules, yet my wife remains hurt, and my parents insist he stays with me. Now I’m torn: should I send him back to my parents’ house until things calm down?
