Hi, if she threaten to file case it is better to approach the court for anticipatory bail or file complaint for harassment. But they have to think over the matter twice because if any of the family members support them then only they can file complaint.

Where does their son stand amidst all this? Has he abdicated his legal and religious duty to protect his parents and tend to them when they are in the evening of their life?

If the house in which these two senior citizens are residing belongs exclusively to either of them or jointly to both of them, then their daughter-in-law does not have the right to even live therein except with the consent of owners i. her parents-in-law. Hence, they may move to court for seeking an order to evict their daughter-in-law. Furthermore, they can file a DV case against her to protect themselves from any kind of mental or physical harassment. If their son does not support them financially then they may obligate him to do so by moving court against him.
