Afsoos hain log apnay rishton ko aisay dukhad kartay hain,aap ko agar mara peeta jata hain ya torture kiya jata hain, mansik ya sharirk roop say to domestic voilance act kay tahat complaint file kar sakhtay ho ,lekin usay aap ki shaadi ka ant b ho skhta hain kyoun ki ghussay main aap ka husband aap ko divorce dey skhta hain. Aap abi property main say kuch bi nahi maang skhtay ho .Haan agar aap ko parayshaani hain aap amintenanace (bharan poshan) kay liye application dal sakhtay ho ,us say bi aap ki martrimonail life main khichaw ayega. Aap soch samajh kar kadam uthayie agar aap ko lagta hain aap ko kabi bi divorce deyngay to aap Maintenanace apna aur bachay ka maintenanace ley skhtay ho, aap domestic voilance kay tahat un sba par karawaie karwa skahtay ho.

Hello Ma’am,

It is sad to hear that such a situation still persists in the Indian households even though the country is modernizing and becoming more accepting. But you don’t need to worry as the law is on your side. According to Domestic Violence Act, section 17, every woman has the right to live in a shared household and a shared household includes “Joint family’s home in which the respondent is a member, even without the aggrieved person or respondent having any interest, right, or title in it such a house.” This means that you have the right to stay in the household and no one can ask you to leave. Usually the right would not be available to a woman who lives in the house bought by her in-laws but since in your case, your husband is the one paying EMIs, he has a subsisting right, and consequently you have a subsisting right.

Right to live in the shared household is an economic right of women. Denial of access to such a shared household by any action, omission/commission, or conduct of the husband/male partner or any of his relatives is considered to be economic abuse according to the Domestic Violence Act.

Hence you do not need to worry as the law is on your side and your in-laws cannot ask you to leave your house.

Hope this helps!
