Kindly let me know since how long are they staying with you. Did they enter into your property without your permission? If such is the case then it amounts to trespassing. Trespassing is a criminal offence and you have to file a criminal complaint to evict them.

Hello, 

If you are living in your own house and the husband owns the house then you will have to take husband also by your side in order to take legal recourse in getting your house vacated. 

It will be an almost impossible process if the husband does not agree for the same.

You can file domestic violence(DV) case against them and seek a eviction from your house. Only if court finds that there are incidents of DV then only they will be evicted.

- As per Supreme Court , no relative or third person is allowed to interfere in the matrimonial life of husband and wife. 

- Further, your husband is under obligation to provide you residence ,where you can stay peacefully. 

- Since, the said relative is not ready to leave the house, and your husband not refusing them directly , then you can file a complaint under the provision of domestic violence Act. 

- However, try to settle the dispute amicably with the help of some relative.

2. The owner can file a suit for eviction to evict your brother-in-law and his family.

3. The suit can be filed only after lockdown as presently due to lockdown the courts are hearing only urgent cases.

1. You are entitled to matrimonial home.

2.  For a married woman, her family consists of husband, child/children and your in-laws. 

3.  As per your narration, your brother-in-law's in-laws also are staying together within the joint family.

4.  Your husband has to clearly tell the in-laws of your b-in-law to move out of the joint family/house to pave way for the genuine members of the family to stay together.

Urine loss could be your responsibility and you will not be able to tell them to go away as they are protected by maintenance of parents and senior citizen act 2006 so it becomes the responsibility of the children to maintain the parents however other family members excluding parents can be evicted by filing eviction suit in civil court.

You nor your husband  can deny responsibilities of his parents and your in-laws, if the house is owned by you and your husband than your brother-in-law does not have rights to live with you. you can ask him to move happily from your house.

Since the house is in your Husband's name, it is better you do not push them, further, take your husband on your side and through him instruct them to vacate the house.

Further, your husband can not throw his parents out from your house, it is his duty to look after them.

However, he can arrange an alternate accommodation and put them there.

With regard to your BIL and his family, they can be thrown out, else, you can with the approval of your husband, initiate Domestic Violence case against BIL & his family & also lodge complaint with police against them.

Do not yield to emotional or other types of blackmail.

If above option of pushing your husband does not work, taking your husband in to loop, you can lodge DV complaint against all of them (be careful with this option)

So long you are residing in your husband's house or the accommodation provided by him, you cannot ask his relatives to vacate the house, you have no rights for that.

If your husband is not listening to your words and not taking any action on it, you cannot force him to do it, because even he cannot drive out his parents out of his house, because that will become an illegal act.

In that situation, you can leave the company of your husband and start living in a separate house.

But your such act can be termed an act of cruelty.

However if your parents in law trouble or torture you then you can take legal action against them either through police or by filing a domestic violence case against them

If it is your house then you cannot take any legal action on it.

You do not have any rights in tht house at least not during the lifetime of your husband.

You can politely ask them to leave the house, if they do not listen then you cannot do anything about it.

If they are harmless, then what is your problem, why do you insist them to leave the house?

1. Legally you cannot ask parents of your husband to leave the house and stay separately as your husband have duty to maintain them legally. 

2. Ask your husband to get them a separate accommodation and solve the matter amicably by talking with them.
