As a woman in my mid-40s, I married at 22. For years, I’ve been burdened with heavy work and emotional abuse, pushing me beyond my limits. This has led to depression and anxiety, making it difficult for me to function. Now, my father-in-law is demanding I leave the house. My self-worth is shattered, and my parents have also faced insults and exclusion. I’ve dedicated my prime years to this family. Do I have any right to stay, to reclaim my dignity? My husband remains silent, a passive observer.

Under Indian law, you have the right to reside in your matrimonial home, even if your father-in-law demands you leave. You can seek protection against domestic violence and emotional abuse from your husband and in-laws. Additionally, your parents’ mistreatment also constitutes a violation of your rights.
