Hi Working Woman,
As your query is not specific to any legal issue, I have few follow up questions.
- Are you fed up with your husband and his father, that you want to legally separate?
Please. Please. Give a break. None of what you have mentioned here is a serious issue.
- You are saying that you are being forced to spend money "even" on necessities.
You are also saying that you are being forced to give up your job.
These 2 statements are contradictory. They cannot do both. Right?
If they force you to give up the your job, how can they expect you to spend money later?
If they force you to spend your money, how can they force you to give up your job?
As another daughter of the house, are you spending any money on your own willingly? If not, why?
You want to be a working woman. But still you do not want to spend any money for your own family?
You want to be a working woman. But still you want all your expenses to be paid by your husband?
Then what are you earning for?
Why don't you come forward and spend for your FIL and husband? Gift them some good thing.
- You said your FIL has discontinued contact with your mother and family.
But, is your mother and family continue contact with your FIL?
Why you think your FIL is putting hurdles from meeting your mom?
May be your FIL wants you to spend more time in adapting to matrimonial home.
If so, what is wrong with that?
Is your mom and family members visiting you at your new matrimonial home?
If not, why? Ask your mom to come and visit you as much as possible.
- You want to take vehile to office but your husband/FIL stops it.
May be they want you to travel safely in a public transport than driving in the city traffic.
Without doubting them, talk to them with a smiling face and find out.
- What are all the unbearable insults that they did to your mom?
Is your mom telling you to spend your salary on your matrimonial home?
If she is not advising you to do the same, then how do you expect your FIL to believe your mom.
- You have mentioned that they did not allow you to buy specific rice from grocery store.
Are they, at least, allowing you to purchase it from your own salary?
And not allowing you to purchase a specific rice is "injustice" to you?
You will go to work and earn money but if you are asked to spend from your money, you will not spend.
Is this not "injustice" to your matrimonial home?
Please take time to adopt to your matrimonial home if you still love your husband.
I quote Mr.Tajobindia.
"Some issues between spouses take long to reconcile and some immediately break due to faulty thinking or under various outside influences and there is no so called subtle social route or legal steps to take immediately as per your brief fact is my view. "
