If you have trust and faith in your husband than no need to worry against all false allegations or forcefully will divorce to you by telling in-laws.

You just concentrate on your husband behavior.

They can't end your relationship without your husband's consent so if he gets manipulated there is no law. But you can file domestic violence complaint against your in-laws.

Hi

Discuss the issue with your husband and try to sort it out within the family.

If it goes beyond your tolerable limits, try and have evidence of their torture i.e., in the form of video, audio recordings (do not share this with your husband  till you have his confidence).

You can file case against them under Domestic Violence (it may perturb your husband.  Beware !!).

What ever you do, involve your husband.

See for forcing him or torturing him you cannot take any action you both can stay separately cut ties with them

 In case they harass you , you can file a complaint before the magistrate or mahila police station.

1. There is law against e harassment of in laws in terms of mental and physical torture but then is no law for protection of marriage.

2. In other words only your combined effort , faith for each other and trust out of it  can salvage this marriage

3. So your husband alone can give necessary protection to the marriage .

5. Filing of case would only compound the problem.

Prefer a complaint against your in laws under Domestic Violence Act and pray for a protection Order.

Contact a local lawyer to get the above complaint filed.

Against manipulation, no protection under law until physical injury cause to you. If you will file case of mental cruelty against in laws, might your husband sides his parents.  So, avoid them and manage your husband. Even in case, they succeeded, than can file  FIR agasint all and than they will in be in trouble.

If you both love each other then you should make distance with your relatives who are against your marriage and forcing your husband to divorce you.

Dear Madam,

There cannot be specific laws to protect from divorce , but divorce is granted on various grounds like cruelty, adultery etc.

You and your husband are hopefully adults and you have to stand strong.

Rest if allegations or complaints are levied on you we would assist the legal remedy for it.

Dear Madam,

Your husband parents have no business to interfere in your married life. This is a common mistake most parents make. Parents say that they interfere with the good intention of saving your marriage. That should be done by you and your spouse. Third party intrusion in marriage destroys it. You should talk to your husband reasonably and tell him that your relationship problems can be sorted between you. He  has to listen to you as otherwise your relationship would suffer.

You can file a domestic violence case agaisnt them if their tortures are intolerable and you are not able to find any solution to this.

You can take the support of your husband if he is maintaining cordial relationship with you by not paying heed to all the ill advises from his parents side.

You can put pressure on them by filing a DVC and also dowry harassment case against them if at all you want to make them remain silent in future.

You confide in your husband and do not allow him to get diverted to listen to his parents words.
