We got married in January 2016. My husband is an only child, and his parents have always expected him to be close to them. Initially, I hoped that he would always support me. But now, I realize that he blindly sides with his parents, even when they are wrong. My father-in-law often talks down to me and gives orders. My mother-in-law constantly wants my husband by her side, even questioning him whenever we go out. It’s not physical abuse, but it’s mentally draining. I don’t want to hurt my husband, he’s a good man, just deeply attached to his family and easily influenced. I love him deeply and don’t want to leave him. Can someone offer advice on how to manage this situation?

Indian law recognizes the right to live with dignity and respect within a marriage. You can seek advice from a family counselor or lawyer to understand your legal options and negotiate boundaries with your in-laws. Remember, you have a right to assert your autonomy and your husband has a responsibility to support you.
