Reading: I married in 2013 and since then, I’ve been struggling to pay off my in-laws’ debts. I even sold all my jewelry and took a loan from my office to help them out. I did everything for my family out of love, but now they’re pressuring me for more money. They have a bad credit history, and there’s even an arrest warrant out for my mother-in-law. My salary is small, and I’m already paying back the loan from my office. My husband also borrowed money from my mother and brother-in-law. I’m at my wit’s end – what can I do?

Under Indian law, you are not legally obligated to pay your in-laws’ debts, even if you’ve done so in the past. You can refuse to provide any further financial assistance. You can also consult a lawyer to explore options to protect yourself from further financial pressure and potential legal repercussions related to your in-laws’ debts.
