Adultry by father-in-law

I am posting the same topic for getting some more answers. So who have not read eariler please lend your legal advice.

Here is a   case , wherein  Father-in-Law is having a illicit relation with a blood relative. As It was opposed by the son-in-law, father -in-law took his daughter and their children away from son-in-law. And filed a DV case against him . But in the name "FAMILY HONOR" . For this activity daughter is also co-operated. As son-in-law is not interested in having any cordial relationship with in-laws., he severed all the relations.  Son-in-law and his parents were always attaked physically and abused in market area/ residential area and many times given police complaints agisnt them. Now they  filed DV case, and the son-in-law figthing the case since last 4years and the couple seperated since last 6 years.

The only concern for this son-in -law is his children ( having a girl and a boy) . They are not showing his children to him.


What to Do? kindly advice.

Rightly said, remain in touch with children.

I think that normally father-in-law and son-in-law live separately in their respective houses. Whose blood relative was the father-in-law in relation with, his own or that of the son-in-law? Adultery, particularly with a blood relative is bad. But that need not bother the son-in-law. He, his wife and children could keep away from the wife’s parental home. Or at least he himself could keep away.  Normally an adult daughter will not like her parent to have any illicit relationship. In fact even if the parent is widowed adult children may not like them to marry again. It is reverse jealousy; reverse of a father not liking the daughter to marry a person he does not approve of.  It is strange, if true, that the wife condescended to her father’s adventures.

 

Is there a provision under DV Act to protect “family honour”. I thought that its purpose was only to protect a wife if the husband or his family ill-treats her. But it cannot be termed hurting family honour. In any case law does not recognize anything called family honour.

 

Is the mother-in-law still alive?  What does she say?

 

The husband can always fight for custody of children or at least for visitation rights. That is a different matter. It is not necessary that the father-in-law should be in an incestuous relationship for that.
