Legal action for mental harassment by husband and in laws


05-Jan-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi I am married for 11 months now and live with my husband in Gurgaon. After marriage, I found that attitude of my in-laws is really pathetic- they abused me in front of my parents, called me mentally distributed( depression patient). They indirectly keep on mentioning their loan dues to me (especially MIL) , she asks for money for the family too. My husband earns around 30k and I earn 45k( in hand). My husband is too dependent on my salary and often tells me that I earn more and should take care of expenses. I pay for rent 15k , he pays around 5k for home. I asked him to pay 50:50 for expenses however he doesn't,and give the reason of not having enough. Somewhere from his words, I feel he is not going to take care of any future expenses and I will be one responsible for all the expenses. Please guide what should I do.

Dear query seeker, it's you who can decide what to do? as far as legal aspect is concerned, from your query, it seems to be a matter of demand of dowry, Mental Cruelty, Domestic violence etc. first of all, decide for your action only then seek legal advice. for further clarification feel free to call/mail.

Yours option for the 50:50 is in the right way but add that the remaining extra amount of your is for future saving and he should understand that. Please tell where are you living, both of you with parents or separately from in-laws. Get more deductions from you salary in your pf or open an nps account for future pension for secure yourself.

Hello Ms.. your Husband is fully responsible to meet household expenses and to maintain you. it is good your doing help and paying the rent and other expenses. You are advised to retain some money for the future and if they will do any thing with u. If they are abusing and using absurd language for u, you can do complaint in the Women Police Station in the D.V Act and same would be entertained by the Protection Officer at Priority.
