You need to send them a legal notice to stop all the said illegal acts.  If not stopped you need to file divorce against her. You can also exercise your remedy under senior citizens Act if you are above 60 yrs

1) no need to bow down to pressure tactics 

 

2) return the furniture sent .

 

3) also send email / messages that you do not want any dowry and to refrain from sending any such furntiure again 

 

4) ask husband and wife to stay separte in rented flat 

 

5) they have no share in parents property during their lifetime

IF this house belongs to you, you can file eviction suit agasint the daughter in law and prohibition order agasint her relatives to forbid them to enter in your house.

Also file police complaint against them for criminal intimidation.

Respected sir... 

I will advice you to be polite in this matter because when you will approach the police for court in this matter then it will ruin the entire happiness of the family because DIL will take there side and when you think that things are not acceptable then remember to file any application but prior to her that is only work as a difference.... 

 

Thank you

Hello, 

Your father can go ahead and file a complaint against the said people for criminal intimidation. 

there is no law by which you may ask the in laws to not interfere till the time your wife is also in support of you.

See first talking to daughter in law can help, that she behaving this way can lead serious issues in her marital life she should not get influenced by things and take care of family and herself. If that is not possible you can file a police complaint against the relatives intimidating and threatening.


But that would lead to further disturbances in the marital life.

If they threaten in any manner then you may lodge a criminal complaint agaisnt them with the local police  for threats posed as well as for creating nuisance in your house.

You cannot live in fear for this reason constantly, at one stage you may have to initiate some legal steps to safeguard your interests and safety.

Dear sir

In this case you have to move strategically as father in law of your son is a police officer so he can cause trouble for you in future.

First you have to disown your son and daughter from your properties and send them both on rented premises. 

If your daughter in law cause trouble and refuse to leave ask her to send all the stuff back and ask her family members to stop interfering in daily household work.

And if they cause trouble you should file a suit for eviction of son and DIL under senior citizen act.
