Hi,
I have been married for teh past 2 years and have a one year old son. From the second month of my marriage my in laws have been troubling me for money. I am working in healthcare industry and contribute 50% of my salary to my in laws. My in laws are asking for my complete salary, else they ill treat me badly. My husband is also not supportive. My in laws don't take care of my son also. I have to leave her to my mother's place when I am at work.
I have some gold ornaments given by my mother at time of my marriage. My mother in law wants to get my complete salary & my gold else she says she will throw me out of this house with my 1 year old son. My husband also supports her in this and is ready to divorce me.
What options can I exercise in this case - DV, dowry, residential rights? Please suggest before it gets late.

You have right to residence so first of all avail this and even if things do not come to your control then you are free to have other sections of DV Act, 498A etc.

Please take the path of legal battle only as a last resort as it may end your marital relationship for ever.

try to sort the problems amicably.
Getting into courts is easy, but reliefs come far and in between and the situation soon gets out of hand.
It should be used as the last resort.

Try to settle the issues amicably as once the legal steps are taken, then the marriage will break irrepairably.
But, if the water has reached above your neck, then it is better to go for legal action by filing complaint of domestic violence as stated above.

Experts are rights. You have right to live in in-laws dwelling house. Have a patients because your son is also too small and it is a question of his future also. Try to win their confidence and do not strain the relations. You say your husband wants a divorce but it is not a childs play. Both husband and wife have to face the consequences of break marriage.
