Unemployed husband

Dear Sir...

I am married since last 17 years... My husband has not earned a single penny in these many years... I live in joint family with my in-laws.. My FIL has his family business from past 40 years and my BIL is working with my FIL..

My father helped me and my husband, by giving money ( as loan ) for all the expenses from the day one of my marriage till date...i worked for all these years and helped my husband after being informed by my FIL and my MIL on the first day of my marriage that my in-laws are not going to support me nor my husband for any thing... all the money that we took from my father was in cash... now from past 2-3 years my husband is denying and backing out from all the amount that has been taken from my father... once i started asking money back from my husband , for my papa, he hits me and my daughter and threatening me that he wil throw me out of the house if i ask for money from him ... Can i recover this amount from my in-laws? P.N my husband has intentionally not shown any income on paper as he has joined my FIL business from past 2 years after trying for income from other source or business or job..

Is there any proof that he have taken loan from your father like bank transaction or any slip with revenue stamp or any cheque number by which the money has been given or any type of documentary proof ?

If no, then I am sorry, you con't.

kavita have you any proof with you that your husband had taken loan from your father , why you had taken money from your father every month its your husband duty to provide maintenance to you and your daughter , why you continiously taking help from your father as you know well in advance your husband is an unemployed person he can not return The money , why you are asking money from him right now , if you have proof of taking money as loan and the list also date month and year wise duly sign by him if you have only then you can claim otherwise not , don't make this a issue otherwise there will be a dispute in between you husband and wife.

Thnku sir for ur valuable reply...

**Please throw some light where my husband's threatening me to throw me and my daughter out of the house wer i ve been living from 17 years..

**isnt it my inlaws responsibility who are very well to do and enjoying their life , to take care of me and my daughter???

I am asking now from my husband as my father is in trouble, he is facing financial problem and he wants his money back from my inlaws/my husband...

I took money from my father as i didnt have any other source of income to take care of my husband my daughter and myself...

I m asking my father's money back now as my inlaws are nt taking care of any of my requirements, basic need nor taking respinsibility of me nor my daughter.. and denying to admit even that my husband has taken any money from my father...

Trusting my husband was my crime??

Taking care of my husband for years and years with the understanding that he is my life partner , and if hes in trouble and not getting any supprt from his father, i should help him being a responsible wife, is this my crime? i never thought of taking any kind of writen proof from my husband as i tristed his words... and during all this if my inlaws are just watching tamasha of my life and not doing anythng , isnt that a crime?

for e.g if i have to bear my delivery expenses, my husband's sickness, his cloths, his overheads, his enjoyment.. even if my inlaws are very well to do, is that fyn socially, morally ethically?

Kavita whatever you had stated its o.k. but not legal point of view-1. Your in laws are responsible for your maintenance only your husband is responsible for maintenance of yourself and your daughter. 2. If your house is an ancestoral , or your fil had built it with The financial help from his sons or if is in your husbands name then no body can throw you out from your house if anybody do , it comes under domestic violence and it is punishable .3. its a moral duty of your husband to support your father in his bad days , but legally he is not bound for his help. 4. solve your problem amicably with your husband and in-laws . 5. if you are a working lady do help of your father no one can stop you .
