My husband and I have been married for a year. Sadly, his parents have been mentally harassing me, and the living conditions are terrible. I feel constantly stressed and want to move out, but my husband’s siblings insist I stay with his abusive parents. They say it’s my responsibility to care for them. Even though my husband’s two brothers live separately on the same property, they force me to stay with his parents. They argue that I knew about their family dynamics when I married. The house isn’t even owned by my husband or his parents. How can I legally separate and find peace?

Under Indian law, you have the right to live in a safe and respectful environment. You can seek a separation order from the court, citing your husband’s family’s harassment and your right to live independently. Additionally, their attempts to force you to stay in a stressful environment are not legally binding.

I need advice on how to manage our finances as I believe gaining control over our money is the only way he’ll listen to me.
