Let us not be imagining and assuming things, instead, view all the possible probabilities,
through inter-actions - exchanging views.
Taking the ultimate step of suicidal action is cowardice and could be of guilt also.
The lady prefering to stay separately from her inlaws is but sure there is no cooperation within the joint family(inlaws) and preferred to stay with a family of her own, caused by her marriage, which is also her basic right to keep away or curtail the indifferences, keep away from bad elements ruining her peace of mind and more importantly her own happiness and prosperity. There was valid reasons for her claim to settle in Mumbai(work-place) and visit her inlaws during holidays or week-ends. Every individual should understand their responsibility. Good parents should compromise to the situation than being adamant in their old age but for viewing the welfare of their own children as well, then the care for the elderly from their kith and kin comes naturally as LOVE cannot be demanded nor be purchased, should come from one's own attitude. I would also agree ROSHINI's views: getting tortured by inlaws in indian families of "CLOSE KNIT FAMILY" shows more signs of envy, when sharing within a large family is unfair, when a daughter inlaw steps into a family as a stranger, from her parental place, she needs time and an acceptable situation in the new place to adjust. Parents of either sides to sort-out the differences, not allow the situation to aggravate, adding fuel to fire, by egoism after once accepting the new member by way of marriage.
Instead if the young lady(daughter inlaw), could have been accepted with full caring, full cooperation(set-up) to adjust and live with her new family life, things would have been totally different. It is apparent that the lost family were more dependant, on her hubby.Every individual should understand their own responsibility. We, should not be biased but view both sides of the coin, for one's congenial living atmosphere.
