I recommend family counselling as you need to work out the differences between yourself and your in laws/ husband. You can also approach the Mediators at Bangalore Mediation Center or any state-run Mediation Center in your city.

Hi, It's the husband's duty to support his wife and protect her if she faces harassment from her in laws, the Bombay HC has said. Twenty-one years after he was charged with driving his wife to commit suicide for failing to meet his demands for dowry, a division bench of Justice P B Majumdar and Justice Anoop Mohta upheld a trial court's order, sentencing the 52-year-old Satara resident to three years in jail. Your case falls under harassment by in laws, for which you can lodge a complaint with the jurisdictional police and thereafter a petition under the Domestic violence act against your father in law, the law will take its course. Your husband is good to you in these circumstances, then talk to him and suggest leaving separately from your in laws. This could solve major problems you are facing.

As your husband has brought new house, you both can shift there with your child. Later you can ignore your father in law's advances or make your husband understand your problem. If you are seeking advice on how to punish your father in law, you don't have any cause of action for that and I guess no other girls will give statement on the regard. And you don't have any cause if action/reason to file complaint against him, as he actually never made sexual advances towards you and you are eonly speculating it. Please take help of counsellors to communicate your worries to your husband, if you are unable to do so.
