Being forced to leave house by husband and in laws


31-Mar-2023 (In Family Law)
I got married in 2019 and after 3 months my in-laws began verbally abusing me everyday and evicted me and my husband in the midst of the lockdown. I was not asked for dowry before marriage , however I was constantly abused saying if I brought dowry or was rich i would be treated better. My husband recently bought a house in another city and we moved here and have a baby. My husband frequeny harrases me to host my in-laws at home , despite them still being hostile to me. He uses foul words and says irrespective of how MIL behaves i have to oblige. On refusing to meet them in their city which I'm visiting for work , my husband with the advice of his parents has asked me to pack my things and leave to my parents house with our baby for good. Husband refuses to seek divorce for fear of having to pay maintenance to me . Says we'll stay separately and live own lives . Kindly suggest what I should do

Dear Madam, Under law you have several powers and file domestic violence case and dowry Harrassment case and Maintenance case. You may file different cases against your husband and his family members so that they will understand and compromise.

It is the bounden duty of both of them to look after parents of husband. It is not a ground for divorce on fictitious grounds. As they are aged parents both husband sand wife have to look after them with love and affection. Please you can contact me for more details an instructions.
