In-laws torturing & taunting all the time, husband also not supportive
16-Mar-2023 (In Family Law)
I had went father's home for sometime due to a recent dispute between my mother in law and me. I'm a working woman and her continuous taunts on dowry and my behaviour infront of my parents made me angry. I had a fight a day before with my husband also due to her and she created a huge issue out of it. Next day my husband went to office and she mentally tortured me again. I had enough.I called my husband and told him that I am going to my dad's house for a few days since its unbearable for me to listen to her taunts now. I am a Hindu from India. We are Bengalis. After I visited my dad's house, I called him repeatedly and he didn't pick the phone. I got to know his dad came that day itself. They had totally brainwashed him. I conveyed all the happenings and feelings through message but he didn't reply. My dad called his dad before my going , but his dad shouted and told my dad mad to take me away like this and told not to enter their house again. What should i do now. Any legal advice?

Once married, the husband and his family owe it to the wife/D-in law to treat her with respect if not affection. Moreover, it is illegal to inflict unreasonable mental distress on the wife any person in her new house. When that distress is caused due to dowry, it has imprisonment written all over it.
I suggest you hire a lawyer and file a complaint under 498A IPC against the offending in laws, including husband.
Additionally, mental cruelty of the kind inferrable from the facts is also a good ground for divorce under Hindu Marriage Act,1956.
Lastly, divorce or not, as long as you are staying away from the husband due to no fault of your own, you can apply for maintenance under S.125 Crpc, to be paid by your husband. This maybe a hardball since you're earning yourself but there are still grounds that can entitled you to maintenance.

You have to take any legal action as per your desire of object you want to achieve. If you want to continue you matrimonial life, it would be better to avoid any court proceedings and try your best to resolve the dispute by talks. But if you want separation, you can file cases against your husband and in-laws.
