Mental harassment by mil


07-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
We have decided to live separate after 6 years of my marriage. As initially my husband was not understanding me and the real problem areas but now he understands that who is at fault and how my in laws just want me to be a money making machine for bearing their expenses. And not giving any authority at home. They are totally dependent on us coz they maintained a non practical rich lifestyle by taking debts and now they don't want us to stay away from them. My MIL mentally pressures me stay with them their way. Since now we finally took the step of staying away and told them that we will pay you a affordable amount each month for your expenses now also they keep harassing us. And now and then fight with us. Pls suggest what I can I do in this situation. They just want a very rich lifestyle but I can't afford that coz I have to make a home and take care of my daughter's future which they have not done their entire life. Pls advice?

Its the duty of your husband to maintain their parents not you. Its up to you what you want to do with your money. Its up to you to decide the amount you want to give to them as you also have a daughter to take care of and a house to build. Now that you are living separate, just be strong and hold your ground.

Herein the query your only grievances are against yours' in laws and not against your husband. If you both are mutually consented and understands each other then it is not any problem to live separately from your in laws. if you felt aggrieved from the atrocities given by your in laws then you can file complaint under the provisions of Domestic Violence against them.

Madam if your in-laws demand your husband will have to pay maintenance to them but in this aspects would count like how many dependants are there in family and how many children your in-laws have. There are many laws in favor of old parents.
