Dear Querist,

The information supplied by you is not adequate, though I would attempt to assist you with whatever little I have understood. From the given facts it looks more of a domestic issue and best resolved (atleast in the initial stages) by you, your husband and your extended family through dialogue with the blessings of few other elders who may be either Friends or Family of you or your inlaws.

There are legal remedies to cure this situation but such should be exercised in grave circumstances and particularly those which seriously dampen your conjugal harmony.

You may consider the below questions first:
i) Are you being repeatedly harassed for your money i.e. is there any demand from your husband or inlaws for dowry, your stridhan or your self earned income. Did you willingly gave your salary to your Husband / inlaws or was it demanded from you.
ii) are your self earnings inadequate and you still need financial assistance from hour Husband. Is the loans or liabilities indirectly benefitting your inlaws i.e. whther the house or assets or jewellery etc. are purchased in their name or for their benefit
iii) Is there any marital discord between you and your husband due to the situation you mentioned, meaning constant arguments, long periods of silence, etc.
iv) Does this situation leads to physical and mental harassment of you at the hands of your inlaws and or your husband
v) Is the problem short term i.e till the education or marraige of your brother / sister in law
vi) Is your husband spending his money on the medical treatment of his ailing parents
Vii) Since how long are you facing this problem
viii) Is your husband as annoyed with this situation as you are

A key to this problem would be the mutual trust and understanding between you and your husband and if it works on your side through meaningful dialogue.

Do not forget that your in-laws are the source of the existence of your Husband, who has designated you as wife and a complete woman. Start respecting and accepting the Husband and his family, your resistance will disappear. You urgently need counselling, which will help you to have smooth matrimonial life. The Life is very beautiful and short, make good of each moment. God Bless you!
