In a congregation consisting of three people, two males and a female: The male imam will stand in front, the other male will stand to the right of the imam, and the female will stand behind the imam.
Reference:
عن أنس بن مالك: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى به وبأمه، أو خالته، قال: فأقامني عن يمينه، وأقام المرأة خلفنا
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led him and his mother, or maternal aunt in prayer. He said: "He made me stand on his right, and he made the woman stand behind us."
— Muslim
ولو كان معه رجل وامرأة أقام الرجل عن يمينه والمرأة خلفه

But the questioner said that the woman in this case is the wife, so all three of them are mahram. Does the Hadith also apply to this case? may Allah have mercy on you– QataadaDec 8, 2019 at 12:05

@Qataada I don't understand your concern. Anas was also a mahram to his mother\aunt. The relation between the imam and the woman is irrelevant, even then the Prophet was a mahram to Anas's mother\aunt Umm Sulaym and Umm Haraam.– UmHDec 8, 2019 at 12:26

Subhan Allah, I didn't know that the Noble Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a mahram with both Anas' mother and aunt. What's the daleel for this brother?– QataadaDec 8, 2019 at 18:00
