I’m facing a tough situation in my marriage. My husband and I disagree on living separately from his brother and sister-in-law. They constantly interfere in our lives and seem determined to break our marriage. He also hasn’t opened a joint account with me, instead relying on his brother for financial management. I feel he’s under their influence and not taking his responsibilities as a husband seriously. Can I take legal action to separate from them and protect my own interests?

Under Indian law, you have the right to live independently from your husband’s family. Your husband’s refusal to open a joint account and dependence on his brother for finances can be considered a breach of his marital responsibilities. You can explore legal options like filing for divorce or seeking maintenance and other financial remedies to protect your interests.

I got married in May 2014 and my daughter is 3 months old. My wife’s family has been interfering in our lives constantly over the past 18 months. They hold meetings at my house every month, bringing in influential people to pressure me and my family. My wife fully supports her parents.

Is there a way to get a divorce without jeopardizing my family’s safety?

My wedding in February 2015 was followed by constant disapproval from my in-laws, who felt my father’s arrangements were inadequate. Their criticism and emotional abuse became unbearable. After a disagreement, they demanded I leave. My husband, unfortunately, resorted to insulting my brother and father. Despite my efforts to save the marriage, their insensitive behavior continued. My in-laws viewed me solely as a servant, expected to do chores and please their son. Their education didn’t translate into respect or compassion. One day, their verbal abuse turned physical, forcing me to leave in December 2015. I’ve been living with my parents since. My in-laws have contacted my father, expressing interest in a mutual separation. While the pain and hurt are deeply personal, I need to move forward and end this relationship.
