My husband and I had a love marriage, blessed by our families. We married in April 2014, after knowing each other for four years. Sadly, my mother-in-law made my life difficult. She never liked seeing us happy, constantly demanding permission for every outing. If I went out with my husband, she’d make me face her wrath the next morning. She often reminded me that she’d advised her son against marrying me, saying he could have married his cousin. This deeply hurt me. Even visiting my family was a struggle, as I had to constantly report my return date to her. If I was even a day late, the harassment would resume. She also complained that I didn’t do enough housework and influenced her husband to mistreat me. The constant pressure became unbearable, forcing me to return to my parents’ home. It’s been five months now, and my husband hasn’t reached out. While I don’t want to separate, I’m heartbroken and lost.

Based on Indian law, your situation describes cruelty by your in-laws, which is a valid ground for divorce. You have the right to seek legal protection from such abuse and to file for separation or divorce. Consult a lawyer to explore your legal options and seek appropriate legal remedies.
