Your wife is not "forced" to work from home. She is forced to find her own work accommodations. At the extremes of requiring a dedicated IP address and fiber connection, it's still an option to rent an office space individually. At the less extreme: As is an individual membership at a coworking space, likely a public library, or a coffee shop. Similarly, whether at home, at a office, or at a corworking space she is not forced to be socially isolated or miserable.
