My mother-in-law often visits without letting us know beforehand. These visits can be stressful and overwhelming. Is there a way to politely manage these visits without creating a big problem? I’d like to find a solution that avoids legal action.

Under Indian law, you have the right to privacy in your own home. While there’s no specific law against unannounced visits, you can politely but firmly communicate your need for prior notice. Suggest setting up a schedule for visits or discussing her preferences for visiting times.
