I am a 35 year women , having two daughters 5 and 2 years, married for 10 years,I worked in a reputed industry for 6 years before kid, I left my jib after kids.

My husband is ok with me but he afraids all of his family members. We live in Delhi and my inlaws in Haryana..
my mother -in -law always keep my husband against my parents (who also live in Haryana)..since after marriage..I keep on adjusting

but 3 yeas ago there have been a huge quarrel between my parents and my in laws and husband , as he demanded divorce in front of all family members.

After that also I keep on Adjusting with him on the conditions that he will not talk to my family at all .
2 years ago when my small daughter took birth , then also my parents visited to delhi and he did not even look at them.
Now to settle down the things, yesterday my parents went to my in- laws with sweets, but son of elder brother of my husband keep them standing on gate for 10 min. by not offering them to enter in home.
then the elder brother of my husband also came and and refused them to meet my mother - in -law. After insisting so much he agreed and keep them sitting on gate to wait.

After 15 min my mother -in -law came and took them inside and force them to have maafi for the quarrel happened 3 years ago to elder brother of my husband . They did that as well...but still matter did not resoveled and my parents came back with sweets as they did not keep them.

Now my inlaws are not agreeing for all these facts with my husband.. and making him again scolding my parents for pushing me to quarrel.

I am in extreme mental torture. CAn any law be applied for such kind of torturing.

1. This is more personal problem due to interference of your in laws.

2.Since your husband is not tortuous so do not got for any illegal intervention s the same may ruin your marriage.

3.Talk to your husband in person and make him understand these things.

4. Go forhomiday with him and then sort things out.

5.i think if you stay separately with your husband then the problem would not happen anymore. Convince him in doing so.

In these circumstances you can file a case under section 12 of DV Act to seek protection order and injunction against your in-laws to restrain them from subjecting you to further acts of domestic violence and also interfering in your marital life. If the order passed by the magistrate is violated by them then a criminal prosecution can be launched against them under section 31 of DV Act and they may convicted on your solitary statement.
