My husband and I have been married for a while now, and we live separately. Sadly, my mother-in-law passed away last year. My husband regularly visits his parents’ home, where his three brothers and their wives live with his father. One brother is very close to my husband and often asks for financial help. He also tries to persuade my husband to leave me. This has been an issue since the beginning of our marriage. Even when we lived together with the extended family, I noticed a close relationship between my husband and his brother’s wife that I don’t feel comfortable discussing. Even after separating, my husband still spends most of his money and time with his family and doesn’t seem to care about me. Is there any way I can expose this behavior? Can I file a legal case against my husband’s brother, his wife, and my father-in-law for supporting him in this?

Indian law does not explicitly recognize “interference in marriage” as a separate cause of action. You may have grounds to file a case for divorce based on cruelty or desertion, depending on the specifics of your situation and your husband’s actions. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to assess your legal options and proceed accordingly.

I’m a student in Canada, but my family is in India. My 22-year-old brother has a disability, and my younger brother is 14. My father has always been mentally abusive, but it’s gotten worse lately.

My wife frequently leaves our home without informing me, often for extended periods. Her father is battling cancer, but his wife, a doctor and financially secure, could easily manage with a nurse or attendant. Despite this, my wife travels every weekend or for ten days each month, taking our three-year-old daughter with her. The constant travel disrupts our daughter’s education, well-being, and even her health. We’ve tried everything – advice from friends, family, even counseling – but she doesn’t listen. My parents are helping with our daughter, but she’s away from me on weekends. My wife is also struggling with depression and hormonal issues, which leads to volatile reactions and affects our daughter’s mental state. I’ve been enduring this, but now our daughter’s schooling is at risk. We have school interviews, and my wife refuses to help or take responsibility. I’m at my wit’s end.

My mother-in-law has been constantly harassing me over the phone and in person, making my life unbearable. This has caused me severe mental distress for the past eight years.
