Reading: My wife’s relatives visit often, which she enjoys, but it leads to unnecessary gossip and misunderstandings. Meanwhile, my mother is often prevented from visiting, with arguments and shouting erupting. I want to find a way to ensure my mother’s visits are welcomed, without giving up on my wife’s family completely. Any advice on how to navigate this situation, either legally or through a balanced approach?

In India, there is no legal framework specifically addressing familial visits or in-law relationships. You can try a balanced approach: set clear boundaries with both families, communicate openly with your wife about your concerns and her family’s behavior, and seek a compromise that accommodates both families’ needs.
