mother-in-law torture

You have got many laws in your favour like IPC-498A, DVA etc. Your husband may not be playing double game. He is between you and his mother and his attitude may change according to situation. You say that your husband is a lawyer. So he may have law qualifications. What are the qualifications of your mother-in-law?  What are your own qualifications?  Where are your parents? Are they in the same locality or are they far away? Have you got brothers? How old are they?  The in-law problems are universal and it is there even in so called advanced communities. It is mostly due to meaningless jealousies. People get into mindsets and it is difficult to get over them. Counselling can be tried, if practicable

In which branch of engineering are you graduated? How long is it since you graduated? How many years after your graduation did you get married?  Were you employed or studying just before marriage? Are your marital home and parental home in the same city/place? You have no brother. Have you got sisters, elder or younger? Are they educated? Are your parents qualified?  Have you got father-in-law? What is he?  Who are all there in your marital home?

What is ece?  As you were employed with HCL  I think it has something to do with computers. One advice which I can give you even without any further informtion from you is that you should not waste your knowledge and education. If you remain a housewife for many years, not only all your knowledge will evaporate but you will lose your will to work. Nothing will stand by you even through all adversities, as your knowledge and ability to earn.  You have not stated whether your parents and your marital home are in the same city/place. What is the opinion of your husband, if you were to go for job? What is your father? Is he still working? Is your mother a housewife or working? Is your younger sister qualified?  I would imagine that your husband would be young and beginning his career. Does he practice independently or along with seniors? Is he specialising in any branch of law?

Yes  you can file 498A and other sections. But they are the ultimate weapons. There can be no going back to the marriage after them. The situation should be carefully assessed before going for them. That was why I asked more questions.
