My sister's husband do not want to live with her. He put his views immediately after 4 days of marriage to my sister without any reason (keep on saying till today, that their thinking do not match). My sister did not disclose this to us. Her in-laws keep insisting that his son is not happy with the treatment they receive during the marriage ceremony (though it was very much ignorable) hence behaving like this, soon everything will settle down. However they (even their youngest son) also keep her harassing occasionally on minor dispute during ceremony. My sister is good looking and well behaved. My sister keep trying as they advise. They also insisted her not to discuss anything with us. They did not allow her to come our house though only 5 km apart. After too much of request, they allow her came after 1 year, only to get her back after 1.3 years, when they consult a lawyer (we came to know about this much later). They tried honestly to put her with their Son at Delhi where he is working, but they shunned her from using her ornament possibly feared she would put this with us. At Delhi from 1st day he tried to portray my sister as if she is not good fit for him. Also keep on fabricating stories as if he has relationship with his colleague. After 5 months both family sits together at Delhi and decide to separate for a period till her husband do not feel value for her. her husband meet with a fatal accident in month 4 of my sister's stay at Delhi. His right hand is only 25% functioning. Still, this time everybody from his in laws side were cursing him for his rude and arrogant behavior of not living with her. We all tried to move on and leave his ego, but all goes in vain. Her in laws were behaving good, but with no feeling involved, though keeping a fair distance with our family. They (including his friends) also keep telling that my sister has shown great commitment and respect for their family. This is their Son who has created all this situation which is putting both families in a no man's land. We ask for maintenance till the separation period, as going back to home town was not a good choice because of various social issues involved. Also I wanted my sister to learn new skills and rediscover her lost confidence. I suggest to get all these arrangement through court, as we lost faith in their words. But very next day her husband approached me and get me convince that he will do everything for my sister except to live with her. He also insisted to change ownership of his land valued Rs 10 lakh at Ghaziabad which I refused. My goal was not to earn money, we have enough. Hence I asked for only 10,000/- for maintenance, which he agreed after hard negotiations. After 7 months now he is saying he is not able to pay anything till he could not recover from his accident completely. He is still in same job with around 35000/- in hand. Her in laws at home town did not call my sister since they return from Delhi. They also said once that they have abandon their Son, then they do not know my sister anymore. They do not give her jewellery till now. We are in dilemma what to do next. My sister want to live with her. Her husband do not want to live with her. We want maintenance to safeguard her self respect and to avoid a feeling that she might develop as if she is a liability to us even after marriage. She is educated (Simple, graduation with Arts) but not able to get good job in Delhi because of her poor command over English language. She do not want to remarry. Her husband is not in a position to provide any maintenance and also do not want to live with my sister. He claimed of no communication with his parents. Though got to know from his friends that his mother went through major operation. We are not able to understand why he refused to live with my sister, she is good looking, well behaved (though could not maintain in last 2 months of her stay). Marriage was not fixed in hurry it took both the family around 1.7 months. Though Boy did not meet my sister even after both families insisted for the same before marriage. My sister is little taller than boy, he was aware of this fact also. There is only gap of 2 years. Boy 31 (born 1984) and my sister 29 (born 1986) We are ready to delete all bad memories if he agrees to live with her. Other possibility, if same situation continue and we fail to get maintenance we fear a feeling of being cheated. Her in laws has mentally harassed her very badly and treated her like a object. They used abusive language for my father and other family members, in first 1 year of stay at their home. Now they are behaving like ideal in laws of Ekta Kapoor TV Serial. ONE GOOD point though, they NEVER tortures my sister physically. Our objective is to get my sister financial freedom up to reasonable and legally acceptable level only. At the same time, we do not want to let her in laws go (we are ready to forget every bad memories only if her husband agrees to live with her). My sister do not want to give divorce and my family is also not ready for the same because of obvious reason. After all this is huge insult to a newly married girl being told within first week that their marriage might not last longer. We also went to a lawyer after all this incident he is insisting us to go for all out. He is like our big brother now. He is advising to approach court with all possible cases . Because going one by one like, if we fail to get maintenance (chances are high for not getting maintenance as he has to arrange funds for his operation) would weaken our case. It would portray as if we are hungry for money only and after no result in maintenance we are filing for domestic violence. Also my sister and my family do not want to file a false case of physical torture. But, we have no proof of mental torture, it would be hard to prove. If we do not get maintenance we want to approach court. But how and for what? My sister do not want DIVORCE, she is even ready to spend her life without him. Both families are having almost same social status though financially we are having slight edge. We have spend around 10 lakhs in the marriage including their demands of 5 lakhs in cash, and other jewellery. I have one more sister to marry we are trying not to disclose any thing in society till her marriage fixed
