In English we do not have a word for "husband's home." English-speakers don't distinguish between homes in that way. It sounds like you are talking about a word connected with the custom of the wife going to live in her husband's family home. English-language kinship terms are much more limited than, for example, those of Indian languages. We don't have as many special words for specific types of kinship relationships. If I want to refer to the house owned by my husband's family -- his parents' home -- I might call it my in-laws' home or my husband's "family home." If someone else is talking about it, they would just use the name of the family--e.g., the Smith family home (but then it would not be clear if that meant the husband named Smith or his father).

You could just say "husband's house" or "husband's home," but that might be confusing, causing people to wonder why the husband would have a separate house from that of his wife (since in US culture a couple usually live in their own home, not with the husband's or wife's parents). That's why it might be better to say "husband's family home" or "husband's family's home."
