Emotional abuse by mother in law and other family members

27-Jul-2026 (In Family Law)

My mother in law being nice infront of me and speaking bad about me with other family members and relatives, where i can observe that in their behaviour and hatredness. Trying to initiate conflicts between family members making me centre of it. Myself being a doctor and mother of two children, I’m unable to take stress and ultimately having suicidal tendencies. When I thought to open up and discuss the matter with father in law, he denied each and every word of mine.

Answer #3

This query mentions suicidal tendencies, so it's best to respond with empathy while also giving legal guidance without minimizing the seriousness. You can post: If you are facing continuous mental harassment from your husband or in-laws, you may have remedies under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, including protection orders and other appropriate reliefs. Preserve any messages or other evidence of the harassment. Since you have mentioned experiencing suicidal thoughts, please seek immediate support from a trusted family member or a mental health professional. For legal guidance and assistance regarding your rights and available remedies, you may contact us through our LawRato profile.
