Dear Experts,
My brother will complete 3 of marriage in January next year. My Bhabhi has been forcing my brother to separate from our mother and myself, since the first week of their marriage. She and her mother have tried all tactics to directly mentally harass my brother and indirectly harass my mom and me, including threats of sending us to jail, killing herself, and filling a divorce post which my brother will have to pay her alimony. She has also tried to act abnormally by crying, hauling and sitting down on the floor and talking things without any sense. I also have a voice recording of her, where she is threatening us and behaving abnormally, at her mother’s place.
Since the last 2 years, neither my mom, nor I have spoken a word to her but still she pulls out nonsense situations to fight with my brother.
We belong to service class, are a family of 4 members with my Mom, my Brother, his Wife and myself. I am an unmarried female. Currently, it is only my Brother and I who are working and baring the household expenses. We are staying on rent and do not hold any properties. My bhabhi used to work in the same company as my brother’s but took a break for her marriage. After an year she joined another organization but worked there only for about 6 months. After another break of almost a year she has taken a shop on rent, which seems to be running decently but has obviously never been asked to contribute in the household expenses. My Bhabhi’s mother is on pension and her brother is not working. We do not have any properties. My brother currently holds a debt of approx. 4+ lakhs and I have a loan of 8.5+ lakhs of which I took 6.5 lakhs on behalf of my brother.
We have been agreeing to all her demands since the past 3 years, since my brother cannot afford to give her alimony from his income. Request your advice and if we can go for filling a divorce case against her.
Regards,
