• Severe harassment from in-laws

I am male married since 2013 , I was working full time and had good career for 10 yrs, I absolutely did not had any physical or mental health issues before marriage and was working full time as IT professional.

After marriage from begning I had conflicts and disputes with inlaws.
 They were keeping too many expectations from My Wife and were doing lot of interference and trying to control My Wife and our married life. They were not allowing us to live our married life independently.

There is no issues or conflicts between Me and My Wife and she is living with Me by her own will , but My Wife is mentally and physically weak so she does not handle inlaws and is unable to set the boundries with them after marriage. 
My in laws are immoral, highly manipulative and controlling people, on face they show and act as if they are very matured people and gentleman but behind they do all sort of negative and immoral activties.
They also practice black magic and do all sorts of immoral and hidden activities to control My Wife and harm Me. 

 After 5 yrs of marriage , I am suffering from rare, severe and complex Neurological disease since 2019 , I am like bed bound, and having difficulty in talking, sitting upright for long time. I am not able to work due to My severe health condition since 5 yrs now.

Taking advantage of My severe, rare and long term health condition , My in laws are defaming Me and spreading rumors about Me to the neighbours, relatives and wherever I go by tracking My activities.
They are telling that I am mentally unstable and have had physcological / mental issues from begning of marriage and they are trying to earn fake soft corner of thier daugther in front of people saying that our daughter is caught in this toxic marriage and her life is getting spoilt due to this marriage.

They are also tracking each and every activity of Mine by hacking my mobile and creating severe obstacles by defaming Me and spreading rumors about Me 
 They are trying to block My medical treatment by misguiding the Doctors and also blocking anyone who is helping Me ?

They are forcing Me indirectly to convience My Wife and take mutual divorce and also demanding Money one time Amount from Me. 



---------------------------------------------------

How can I deal with such situation ?
Considering I am bedbound and My health condition is severe , I am not in position to take legal action against them, 

What can I do to stop this defamation and turning people against Me ?

What can I do about tracking of all My activities through hacking of My mobile ?

1) if your phone has been hacked

1) Clear your browsing history, cache, and downloads.

 2) Download security software and run an antivirus scan. Antivirus software can find, isolate, and remove malware from your Android phone. (Note: there’s no such thing as antivirus for iPhone — any security app that markets itself that way isn’t being honest). Once you have antivirus protection on your device, it will automatically check files and programs.

3) Remove unrecognized devices from your Apple ID or Google Account

 

4) Update your operating system and software.

 

5) ignore defamatory comments made against you . You should concentrate on your health .since you are not able to move around and cannot work you are dependent on your wife . You can consult a family counsellor

 - Delhi High Court granted divorce to a man on the grounds of his in-laws’ frequent interference in his marital life and noted that parents should “draw a line” and let their daughters lead a happy, married life.

- Hence, the wife's parents interference in your married life is against the law , and can file a complaint against them.

- If she continuing to creating rift between you and your wife, then lodge a complaint against them after mentioning that they are trying to misguide your wife against you. 

- If you are not in position to take legal action against them then take help of any relative or friend , and a complaint can be filed by them as well on your behalf.

Consult physician and neurologist. Regain your physical and mental health. You can deal with them in proper manner only if you are healthy. For tracking you on phone, there are apps in the  market to prevent such tracking. Recite Hanuman Chalisa every morning after taking bath, for next 24 hours, no black will affect you.

You can have solutions to your problem only through legal sources and not otherwise.

If you will not be able to take any legal action then you may have to continue to suffer in the same manner.

Dealing with toxic in-laws requires setting clear boundaries, communicating openly with your partner, and practicing self-care.

 It's also crucial to recognize that their behavior is often a reflection of their own issues and not necessarily about you. 

You may first block their numbers and install antivirus apps in your mobile as well as in your laptop.

Block them everywhere and don't be worried about they blocking your friend's mobile, it is their problem

If necessary you can file a divorce case on the grounds ow mental cruelty for the acts of harassment and other issues created by her parents making your married life miserable.

You may please note that unwarranted interference from a wife's parents can be a ground for divorce, particularly if it leads to cruelty or mental distress that makes it impossible for the couple to continue living together. 

The Delhi High Court granted divorce to a man on the ground of cruelty as it found that there was unwarranted interference of his wife’s parents in their matrimonial life.

A Division Bench comprising Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said, “From the evidence of the parties, it is evident that there was an unwarranted interference of the parents and the family members of the respondent in the matrimonial life of the appellant, as has been asserted by him. Such parental interference reached an extent of causing immense harassment to the appellant, who was even made to face multiple complaints before the different agencies. The parties are residing separately since 2001 i.e. for about 13 years, during which the appellant has been deprived of his conjugal relationship for no fault of his. It needs no reiteration that the bedrock of any matrimonial relationship is cohabitation and conjugal relationships.” The Bench added that for a spouse to be deprived of his wife’s company proves that the marriage cannot survive, and such deprivation of conjugal relationships is an act of extreme cruelty.

Therefore you may have to take decision at least now in this regard or else you may not find any solution to this.

You are facing a serious case of harassment and defamation by your in-laws, made worse by your health condition. Since you're bedbound and unable to take direct legal action, you can still protect yourself in key ways. First, reset your phone and change all passwords to stop potential tracking or hacking, and report this to the cybercrime portal at cybercrime.gov.in. Second, gather and save any evidence of defamation or threats, including messages or witness accounts. You can ask a lawyer to send a legal notice on your behalf and file a police complaint through a representative, explaining your medical situation. Do not give in to any pressure for divorce or money—such demands are illegal. If needed, seek free legal aid through the State Legal Services Authority, which may offer home-based support. These steps can help protect your rights and reputation even without physical mobility.

Dear Sir,

First of all, you are suggested to be mentally strong and courageous to face the issues and defeat the ill-will of the inlaws. First of all, change the mobile set and use key/button/basic phone with you for ready communication so that the same can't be hacked. Simultanously, try to gain confidence/love/care of your wife in such a manner that she is not affected by her parents. Do have in GOD - the almighty like Draupadi of Mahabharata saying that he (GOD) only can save and take out of the all the evil net created by the in-laws. Be a positive thinker and defeat their evil intention at every stage. Discuss your issue with doctor and come out with solution really feasible to you. Change the doctor also, if possible. Do not let them know as to what are you doing and what you intend to do. It may take some time but ultimately the things will prove and will go in your favour.
