I recently got married under the Hindu Marriage Act, but things haven’t been easy at my in-laws’ home. My husband is the youngest of three brothers, and his mother is no longer alive. We live on the middle floor of a three-story house, with his elder brothers and their families on the floors above and below. Currently, his eldest sister-in-law prepares our meals, but I’d like to cook for myself and my husband. I believe it’s my duty as a wife to provide for my family. Our floor has a kitchen, and I’m ready to set it up. I asked my husband to help me, but he flatly refused. I’m feeling very worried now.

Indian law does not dictate who should cook in a married household. However, your husband has a responsibility to ensure a harmonious living environment, including respecting your wish to cook for your own family. If his refusal to help set up your kitchen hinders your ability to cook, you can seek advice from a family counselor or legal professional to address this situation.
