• Insulated by sister in law husband

I am facing some bad tension actually. need some legal help as a peice of advice. plz let me know what to do in the case when sister is law husband misbehaves and insult me poorly in front of whole family? This basically happened because of his high family designation as "jija"& even family also thinks so that he is very valuable because they have given their daughter to him. So his ego, his attitude etc everything is acceptable. It was a bad insult individually of mine in front of everyone. I am surprised by this indian thinking of putting few relationships on a higher authority even they maintain conditional relationships with rest others. Me Feeling so depressed.

 If m wrong i can correct my self but am i really wrong. Passing my days with lot of tears as am a patient of spline slip disc herniation since 2 years and fighting really hard with my daily life. I do respect and have a lot emotions for all my in laws. but sadly this happened which shattered me. Feeling damn alone.. as can't share this to anyone. please help.

Dear

For that you have to be strong and talk to your husband about this incident and how you feel insulted by taunting of Husband of sister in law. 

If he doesn't help you out of the situation then talk to other family members and if they also refuse to help you. 

You should talk to your Jija directly by strong voice that you don't like this behaviour  that next time if he repeat this mistake again he will face same reaction from you.

Dear Querist

if he is reside with you and your family than you may file a complaint against him before the magistrate court under section 12, 17 & 18 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act-2005 and claim protection, restrain order but if he is not reside with you than you have only two option, either file a civil suit before the civil court for permanent injunction or file a criminal complaint before the police and raise your voice against his act.

Move a complaint against him for defamation

What is your husband's reaction to such insults?

You did not inform him or did you not seek his help to  tide over this crisis?

If your husband is not cooperating then you may have to take decision to take legal steps against him by filing a DV case against him seeking protection and compensation from him for his insults and illegal acts against you.

This may bring problems to your smooth married life but you cannot tolerate these things forever in the name of family prestige or any other sentiments.
