Hello all,
I am house wife. i was married in 2005 and i have a 6 year old son. i live with my husband ,its a joint family.
my father has given 5 lakhs of dowry at the time of marriage. we dont have any proofs,but marriage video shows the gold given to me. My husband is younger one in the family,he has a elder brother and a married sister , they have family business, marriage life was ok upto 1 year,once i am pregnant, my husband sister,my mother-i-law , they started torturing me and my family to bring money ,as i was the only daughter ,my parents gave whatever money they asked, but my father-in-law was good person, every time they beat me and send me home to bring money, some how my father-in-law used to convince me and my parents and he used to say now business is in losses,once i get some profits i will divide the properties and he said whatever money u r father gave i will give u back he said,for safety purpose he said he gave bonds(showing that he took money from my father) , even though my father doesnt have money he lended money from outside and gave them. when they try to beat me,my father-in-law used to stop them, because of him i didnt complain ,he was very much worried about prestige etc.
Last year they have taken my gold and kept in a bank for loan (its on my name) , my husband always supports there sister. recently my fatherinlaw died and from tht day the harassment increased and now they are demanding more money. already my father has lended lot of money and gave them ,now they are demanding more and they have sent me home.
now my father is in trouble, he can no more give money to them. please guide me what i can do now.
i dont want any extra money,i am thinking of finding a job and continue on my own, but my parents are old now,i need some money to support my family. if i ask them now for the money my father gave,they will not give me single rupee. i dont need any extra money, i just need the amount my fahter gave as dowry and my gold and money my father gave in the middle( has bonds signed by my father in law ), but as now my father-in-law died ,still can i use them as proofs. we dont have any proofs showing that they harassed me, only person in the family support was my father-in-law and he died , how can i get them. if i go to court ,how can i show any proofs, gold also they kep in bank on my name only,they forced me to sign, if i goto court will i get justice. how can i show any proofs, we are from village and my paretns are old. please help me. please suggest how i should forward.
