My mother in law is a tyrant and used to physically abuse my husband and his sisters, after our marriage she was creating problems for us hence we moved to a new city. we give her 5000 rs per month. Now she has gone ahead to women cell and her friend working at the woman cell calls us and inform us that she Rs.5000 is not enough and she needs more money or else she will go ahead and file a case. My husbands sisters are also mentally harassing us, One of his sisters stayed in our home for a year and did not pay light bills.Now all the sisters and mothers are troubling us to extract more money. whereas currently my husband is jobless from 11 months.Also we have a small child and 2 homes to maintain. How can we safe guard ourselves against such a case and also how much is the minimum maintenance one is bound by law to give parent.

There is nothing like a minimum maintenance. he amount of maintenance depends on so many factors.

You can also take help of an NGO working for good cause of women.

If they decide to go ahead with a case, you can defend it well since your husband is jobless as of now.

@Deepak Nair. Sir can you please help me with the maximum maintenance that a male child is bound to pay by law to the parents. Also she receieves fund from Goa govt, pension from husband's company and revenue from coconut, beetlenut and paddy plantation

If they think the maintenance is not adequate specifically when your husband is unemployed, let her claim through court.

highly subject matter.

She has gone to wrong forum.

If she exercises Sr Citizen Act then your position Including husband's sisters) may be worse.

If your inlaws have sufficint income exceeding yr husbans income, their demand outmerits in court. Defend appropriately
