As per your statement ;your wife had died in Hospital and that during child birth ,there are number of medical reason for such kind of death .Your in-laws could not force you to deposit money by blaming you for the death .The child so born is your responsibility ;being father you had got legal right over the child .You need not to worry,legally they could not take away the child from you .

अगर आप सही हैं और आपकी पत्नी की मृत्यु आपकी लापरवाही से नहीं हुई है और यदि आपकी पत्नी ने मृत्यु पूर्व कोई बयान आपके विरुद्ध नहीं दिया और नाही आपके ससुराल वालों द्वारा कोई एफआईआर इस बाबत दर्ज करायी गयी तो आपको कोई भी चिंता करने की जरूरत नहीं।
आप चाहें तो इस संबंध में संबंधित जिला के एस पी अथवा एस एस पी के समक्ष लिखित शिकायत दर्ज करा सकते हैं।

You meet in person with an advocate and discuss the matter with complete facts and documents. You should not accept demand of your in laws. You have sufficient remedies to protect yourself from any such action if taken by your in laws. It is better to engage an advocate and take precautionary legal action before they take action.
