Position of wife when praying along with husband

Question :

When praying with wife, should she stand along the saff (in same line) or at the back of husband ?

Shakyh Muqbil answered by saying that the woman should pray behind her husband. The proof for this is hadeeth Anas in bukhari and Muslim

Sahih Bukhari – Volume 1, Book 11, Number 694

Narrated Anas bin Malik

“One night an orphan and I offered the prayers behind the Prophet (May blessings and peace be upon him) in my house and my mother (Umm Sulaim) was standing behind us (by herself forming a row).”
