Harassed by mother-in-law

First, do not allow the situation go out of hand.   Go to your parental home for delivery without perpetuating the situation with your MIL.  After delivery, you try the change of your MIL's attitude towards you after a new member entered the family.  If she will not correct herself, then also do not think of divorce, as your husband is pretty good but incapable to change the attitude of old woman against the feminine gender.  If mental harassment continues, instead of asking a separate house, approach the court under domestic violence Act against your mother-in-law seeking residential orders in your in-laws' home itself,  seeking separate part within the house with a restriction against your mother-in-law not to interact, interfere, transgress and disturb you.  Such restrictive orders are possible in DV Act.  If such orders you obtain, I hope, they will not antagonise your husband and FIL against you.

She must be having that dominating nature since the beginning, and even her husband must have been hen pecked. So as a new entrant into the house she has starting targeting U. This  is a common feature in many households. Actually UR husband  should side with U ,but he does not have the guts to oppose his mother. The matter has to be settled within the four walls of UR house to avoid unecessary publicity. I am not supporting UR MIL, (THE MOTHER IN LAWS FORGET THAT SAAS  BHI KHABI BAHU THEE). Intervention of third parties will further worsen the situation as ego's come into picture.So kindly have restraint till the baby is born, and I presume things will come to normalcy. Dont  think of legal process to curtail her, that may even distance U with UR husband. WISH U ALL THE BEST

As suggested by experts, do not let go the situation out of control.  No doubt these are all trivial issues involving the ego problems developing into such ugly scenes.  This is commonly prevalent in almost every household but it is not necessary that every woman/daughter in law should face and endure such humiliations in the hands of the elderly dominating woman of that household for ever.  Some solutions to be arrived at some given time.  However, for the present, you may stay in your parents' house for a while more even after the delivery of the baby, the child's birth may bring some changes in the mind of the grandmother, if it also fails to invoke any response to change her attitude with you,  the alternative option can be thought about it afterwards.

Don’t try to approach the problem at hand legally.  Once you involve legal ways, marriage is as good as over, it will be just time before you guys start fighting with each other.  Having a baby and being in such situation will be even more difficult.

For every action there is equal and opposite  reaction.

Try not to talk back to MIL is the golden rule for you.  I might sound wrong by advising this, keeping mouth shut helps a lot in continuing relationship.

Or move separately is another option.

But for Christ’s sake don’t approach police court for such problem as suggested by esteemed members above.

All the best.

Dear querist kindly have patience and act according to the suggestions of the experts
