Problem from co-sister and father in law. How to go about it

679 votes

You can bring to light the acts of your husband, his father, brothers and your co-sister in law by discussing your present problem with your relatives and friends. I think they might counsel them to mend their ways. It is not clear from your query whether your brother in law is moving closely with your husband or your sister in law. If your brother in law or your co-sister is moving that closely with your husband and you do not want to reveal the nature of closeness then it is a serious matter which is going to affect your relationship. What is that you want legally? Do you want to live with your husband or do you want your father in law , brother in law and co-sister not to interfere or cause disturbance in your relationship with your husband? Can you prove your allegations? Do you have children? Are you a dependent or an earner? Are your husband treating you cruelly or that he is only spending most of his time with his father/co-sister/brother? Consult Sakhi Centre at your place or Legal Counselor or Social Counselor of Child Development and Women Welfare Department of your District. Inform in writing your grievance to them. Be specific regarding the acts committed by your husband and his father, brother and your co –sister. The acts of your husband come within the rope of domestic violence. You can file a case against your husband making your co-sister, your brother in law and your father in law also as parties for encouraging your husband to live with them by leaving you. If it can solved here through counseling it is okay. If the matter is not solved then you can think of filing a case against your husband under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,2005.
