You are the sole owner of your earnings and property ... You can help your parents out of your earnings.

What if the woman is a housewife? How will such a woman be able to look after her parents?

Wife can spend her salary the way she wants, however the husband cant do the same and has to maintain his wife and kids out of his earnings. 

Did you not inform your husband that you would support your parents financially even after marriage ?  

Is he simply objecting because of financial constraints or for any other reason ??

You should have ONLY got married to such a man who would support you in this aspect. It seems evident that your husband has issues  & now you want legal opinion. This will create conflicts and then grounds for trouble in marriage.  People get married by taking the other partner for granted by not discussing important expectations out of marriage and then later going legal to fulfill their demands.

Hii. I appreciate that you are willing to help your parents. As such, nothing under law can stop you from doing anything with the money you have earned yourself. Even your husband does not have any right to abstain you from spending your earning on your parents. So just go ahead without any doubts in mind. For any further clarification you can write me on mittaljets@gmail.com. I do not charge anything. Thanks!

One word "adjustment".  Thats all.  Dont want to adjust, nothing can save the marriage.  All the best in taking care of respective parents.

In Indian tradition generally most Men think Wife is husband’s property. First communicate with your husband that you need to support your parents and how much you want to support for e.g. 50% or 25%. And how many years.

The remaining salary will be spent for our family (You and Your Husband such as Rent, Utilities and Groceries) any investments made for future. This statement will show you are giving respect to him and also making him aware that you are contributing to our family too.

The reason is they are not in good health and also made lot of debt for marriage.

The moment when you say it is my Salary I will spend however I like and take legal route and so on, you are inviting trouble to your marital life and to your parents too. Then you are separating yourself from him.

Remember your parents have a duty to your sister to get married.

Now a day’s spending huge money on marriage by taking debt and later on wanted to help parents and taking granted thinking spouse will help.

It would have been nice if you have explained your situation to your husband before marriage and got married in a simple way and saved the debt.

Financial discipline is very important in one’s life.
