Money demanded by inlaws for staying with husband?


16-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)

My in-laws have conducted by marriage stating that they have no demand. My husband went abroad , but now they are demanding that if i have to stay with him my father needs to spend another 20-30 lakhs rupees and no money or gold, or assets given during the marriage by my father can be used by me for my education or for my stay with my husband. I have certain clips of call recordings ,of the demands they made. Both in-laws are in government service and made calls from the official phone allotted to them.Now they are threatening that they are going for a divorce .

Other than the legal aspects, given the sensitive nature of the issues involved, have you apprised your husband as well as your parents and other relatives of this development. What is their stand in the matter? This aspect is of much relevance especially because your husband is abroad.

As regards to legal aspects, you can proceed against the in-laws for dowry harassment and/or domestic harassment. However, everything depends upon the facts and circumstances and the evidence you can muster and able to prove.

Here the decision is in your court. What you decided .Need a divorce or living with husband?

You can file case against in laws against the threat of asking Dowry. You can use the clips for your case as evidence. Better settle the matter amicably if you want to live with husband.
