Husband forcing me to live in joint family what option do i have
14-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
I am married to a s/w engineer for 6 yrs. daughter aged 3 yrs. we live in a joint family system with husbands brother n his wife. This house is in the name of mother in law. My husband has no share. In laws want us to stay in their house and serve them. They both r retired. My husband is not in favour to purchase a property in his name. My in laws blackmail us emotionally. They are manipulative by nature. Mother in law disrespects me. I have no intention to stop my husband to take care of them but I also want a respected life. I am post graduated.and had worked in a reputed company. Things gets sour.i am living with my parents for 6 months. My daughter is also suffering. How long can I live under these circumstances. I love my husband but want to live independent respectful life. I want to know if a married woman is bound to stay in joint family. Can't she get a separate Accommodation to live respectfully. Is there any legal duties for a daughter in law to serve her in laws?
There is absolutely no legal condition that you are bound to stay and serve your in laws but as you have already mentioned that your husband is not interested in leaving his parents and staying separately, you cannot risk living separately with him.

How do I convince my husband to stay away from in-laws?
You can do this by practicing your answers with your spouse, before engaging in the conversation with the inlaws. It will prevent unpleasant surprises and make sure you're both on the same wavelength. You can also have the spouse that is leaving their parents lead the conversation. 09-Jul-2021
Is it compulsory to stay with in-laws?
Some cultures, such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, require women to live with their in-laws. Is it mandatory for a Muslim woman to serve and live with her in-laws? No, it is not! It is a misconception that Islam doesnt support this belief. 25-Feb-2022
Move an application for before the protection Officer under section 12 of the domestic violence act seeking protection from violence, both mental and physical which is meeted out to you by your in-laws.

There are certain duties for mother & daughter in laws both, But Not legal it is expected to maintain cordial behaviour.
Here it seems only you want to live separately & not your Husband, if you leave the house now situation will be more tense . For this issue i will advise to have consultation with a lawyer Personally.

I already answered your query ,but as now it's clear that you don't want to pressurise your husband to leave his parents ,then in these condition:
1.Go for amicable solution ,put your contention and get the issue resolved within family
2.If it's not resolved ,then you can file complain under Domestic violence Act 2005 .

जी हाँ मैडम ; आपका यह कर्तव्य बनता है कि आप अपने वृद्ध सास - ससुर की सेवा करें...
और याद रखें कि आप अपने पति पर उनके माता पिता से अलग होकर रहने का दबाव नहीं डाल सकती... यदि आप ऐसा करती है तो माननीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले के मुताबिक आपके पति आपसे "क्रूरता" के आधार पर तलाक के हकदार होंगे....!

It is not acceptable to insist on staying at the home of your in-laws without their consent.
