Yes, parents in laws can claim their money and also their properties. In terms of senior citizens Act your parents in laws can claim residence, maintenance and also police protection if you ever ill treated them. 

Mother in law cannot claim money spent on your husband education 

you have to issue legal notice to direct in laws to vacate house 

file eviction case against in laws 

1. In view of Section 4 of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act under which children are bound to maintain aged parents, eviction is not possible.
2. Under the Act provision for old age home is there but that is only for indigents.
3. Any legal authority to whom any complaint is made for eviction will hesitate to act on complaint.

This house property is on your name and as a owner you have all the rights to the property fully.

If they are creating problems, you can very well ask your parents to vacate the premises, failing to listen and if they create problems, you can file a suit for ejectment  to eject them from the property for the said reasons.

They cannot take shelter under senior citizens welfare act, if at all they want relief they can file a suit for maintenance from their son but that will not entitle them to remain in this house especially if the house owner is no more liking them stay there.

1. If they have bonding with another son, they would not have stayed with your husband. 

2. It is for them to decide where to reside. From your question, it appears that other son is not earning or not earning much. 

3. DV Act is applicable only against male respondent by woman as wife or in relationship. 

4. Abuse can also be due to mental condition in old age. It may not be intentional. 

No. It is parents in laws choice and decision. Yes, the behaviour of MIL falls under DV but she too can level allegations and considering her age court will act sympathetically. 

Madam, 

It is suggested that taking care of parents and parents-in-law is the prime and holy duty of every man and women. Due to age and non-efficient working of thought process and nerous system, the behaviour of elderly people change a lot. In many cases, it may be quire derogatory and disturbing but the children (man and women) are required to be bear the same. Please interpret that you are being discouraged by this legal advice. Rather, you are suggested to prepare yourself well and approch the court/concerned legal authority for their shifting citing their well being.   

Both sons  have to maintain the parents if they are unable to maintain themselves 

you are at liberty to file DV case against in laws seek protection order against them 

Madam, 

What was mentioned in my reply was from judgments of some cases wherein parents sought shelter/assistance of their children in their old age. It is just for your information that the court may take that view also and hence get yourself prepared to present your case in best form before the court. After getting additional information, it is further suggested that you may approch for their eviction taking the ground of their cruelty, disturbance in your matrimonial life and welfare of yourself, your husband and kids, if you have kids. You may also take plea that they don't like you and they can be taken care of well in separate property location. Since, the property is self acquired by you and your husband, they can't enforce their rightst to live in that property. 

You have rightly guessed that you can initiate dv case also against your MIL for her acts of domestic violence and abusive behavior..

In case she approaches senior citizens welfare tribunal then your husband only shall be liable to pay her maintenance and not that you have to allow her to stay in your own house against your willingness.

you can initiate legal proceedings to evict her 

As per the law if she is able to sustain her expenses and is possessed of assets , she can very well live in her own house and can manage her expenses out of her independent income.

This itself is a strong reason for you to get her legally evicted especially if she is abusive against you sitting at your own house, which is not bearable.

you can initiate legal action as suggested

✅ Second Son’s Responsibility: Courts may consider the fact that they have another son who can maintain them, especially if you're offering financial support. However, they cannot be forced to stay with him.

✅ Eviction Strengthens: Since your house is self-acquired and in your name, and they have an alternative support system, eviction becomes legally stronger.

✅ Domestic Violence (DV) Act:

If your MIL is abusive, you can file a complaint under the DV Act for mental harassment.

However, she cannot claim DV Act protections against you, as the house is not her matrimonial home (it’s not in her husband’s or son’s name).

If they refuse to vacate, file a civil eviction suit for illegal occupation.

Recommended Next Steps:

1️⃣ Issue a Legal Eviction Notice (mention alternative support).

2️⃣ If they refuse, file a civil suit for eviction.

3️⃣ If abuse continues, file a police complaint under Section 506 IPC (criminal intimidation) or the DV Act.

Since the house is solely registered in your name and all payments were made from your account, you have full ownership rights over the property. Your in-laws are staying in your house without any legal right, making them licensees at best, which means their stay is revocable at your discretion. Below are the legal options available to you:

1. Legal Notice for Eviction (Civil Remedy)

Since your in-laws are not co-owners or tenants under any rental agreement, you can serve them a legal notice to vacate the premises. The notice should clearly state:

• That they are living in your house only with permission, which you are now revoking.
• A reasonable deadline (e.g., 15-30 days) for them to vacate the house.
• The consequences of failing to leave, including legal action.

If they refuse to comply, you can file a civil suit for eviction and injunction in a court, seeking their removal. Courts usually favor the rightful owner in such cases, especially when there is no tenancy or ownership claim from the other party.

2. Protection Against Domestic Violence (Criminal Remedy)

Your mother-in-law’s abusive behavior, including verbal insults and harassment, can fall under domestic violence under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The law recognizes:

• 
  Verbal and emotional abuse (insults, humiliation, and threats).
• 
  Economic abuse (if they try to claim your property unlawfully).

You can file a domestic violence complaint before the Magistrate and seek a protection order under Section 18 of the Domestic Violence Act, restraining them from entering your home or harassing you. You may also request a residence order under Section 19, asking the court to legally remove them from your house.

3. Can They Claim Money Spent on Your Husband’s Education?

No, they cannot legally claim reimbursement for money spent on your husband’s education. Parental financial support to a child is not a loan but a moral obligation. Courts do not entertain such claims unless there was a written agreement proving it was a repayable loan, which is highly unlikely in this case.

4. Can They Demand Maintenance from Your Husband?

Under Section 125 CrPC and the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, parents can claim maintenance from their children if they are unable to support themselves. However:

• Your in-laws own sizeable properties and are financially independent, so they cannot claim maintenance from your husband.
• The fact that they have another son who can take care of them strengthens your case, as maintenance responsibility can be shared among children.
• Since you are already willing to pay for their monthly expenses, courts will likely see this as sufficient support if needed.

5. Clever Legal Angle: Misuse of the Senior Citizen Act

If your in-laws try to misuse the Senior Citizen Act, 2007, by claiming they were "thrown out" or "abandoned," be proactive:

• File a legal notice first stating that you are asking them to leave because of their misconduct, not neglect.
• Highlight that they have other property and another son who can maintain them.
• If needed, file a counter-case under the Domestic Violence Act, proving their harassment towards you.

Conclusion & Next Steps:

1. 
   Issue a Legal Notice to evict them.
2. If they refuse, file a civil eviction suit and request a restraining order.
3. If abuse continues, file a domestic violence complaint to legally remove them.
4. If they claim maintenance, counter with proof of their financial independence and the presence of another son.

Opinion is based only on the basis of law. Lawyer donot get emotional and emotional value does not stand in court. 

They can shift to another property owned by them 

they are not entitled to any maintenance as they are able to maintain themselves 

- The Supreme Court of India, in a long line of decisions, has settled the law that, where a boy and a girl are major and they are living of their free will, then nobody, including their parents, has authority to interfere with their living together.

- Further, as the said property in your name then none having to reside there without taking your consent

- Hence, your in-laws have no right to stay there without getting your consent and also have no right to interfere in your married life.

- You can disallow them to reside with you , and can send a legal notice for the same as well. 

- Further, if they not even vacate then fie a suit for Mandatory Injunction before the Court to evict them 

- However , if they have no earning capacity then they can ask maintenance from their children and not only your husband. 

What is advised by all is strictly on the basis of strict law without sermonizing. You will face all the legal hurdles forewarned.  

Dear Client,

Since the house has been registered solely in your name, with all payments made from your account, you are considered legal owner and have full authority over the property. Given that your husband's parents have been living there with your permission and intend to occupy the property, you may have to follow up with a legal eviction process by serving them a notice. If required, an eviction suit would need to be filed in accordance with the applicable laws. This being because the claim relating to expenditures on your husband’s education does not, in and of itself, create any entitlement for universal residence, absent a further express agreement or obligation in law. Yet the standing of your second son being in position to care for deceased parents would go into consideration in support of their care, but would not necessarily bar you from seeking their eviction. This becomes more relevant when, in addition, there exists proof of violence on the part of the mother-in-law, which could support your case in the sky of domestic violence provisions. It would be advisable to consult with an expert in property and family law to ensure that you do not fall short of the processes available to you and jeopardize your rights. Hope this helps. Please feel free to make any legal query.

Madam, 

Under the provisions of Maintenance of senior citizen Act, 2007; the parents/senior citizen are entitled to claim back their property from the children if the children are not maintaining them well. The facts of case differ from case to case and they are required to prove their statement duly and mere verbal statement will not solve the issues in hand. 

Mere verbal statements have no value 

you have to prove  allegations made in the plaint that money was paid to son for purchase of property and that they have share in property 

Yes. parents can claim back their properties. payment can be proved by various ways. If required consult in private. 

As per seniors citizens Act they have right to do the same. 

What Section 23 contemplates is, where a senior citizen transfers any property subject to the  condition that the  transferee shall provide basic necessities and physical needs to the  transferer and refuses or fails to provide such amenities and physical needs, the  transfer shall be deemed to have been made by fraud and coercion and shall be liable to be cancelled by senior citizen. The  condition for transfer is necessary, it can be express or implied.

They cannot claim share in the property just because they have lent some money.

If at all they want to claim their money and your husband is not willing to return the money he borrowed then only they may seek to attach his property for security to their money

- They cannot claim the properties which is registered in the name of your husband.

- Only the properties which your husband got by his father can be claimed by him.

2️⃣ What Proof Do They Need?

  Bank Transactions – If they transferred money for the purchase.
• 
  Gift Deed or Agreement – If they formally gave the amount as a loan or conditional gift.
• 
  Stamp Duty/Registration Records – If their name appears anywhere in the purchase documents.
• 
  Loan Repayment Proof – If they paid EMIs or a significant amount towards the loan.

3️⃣ If They Gave Cash

• Courts generally do not accept large cash claims unless documented.

4️⃣ If It Was a Gift

• 
  Gifts are irreversible under Section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act unless obtained by fraud, coercion, or misrepresentation.
• If they willingly funded the house without any formal agreement, they cannot demand repayment later.
