• Threatening to my parents from my sister in law

My sister in law is continuously threatening to my parents for different issues. She is married to my brother since 2011 and blessed with a son of 4 years old. Working in a MNC. It was love marriage. Both of them were classmates in university. My brother started working a bit later than her as he was pursuing his higher education. My parents are staying in our native place and my brother and his wife are staying in a big city 700 km away from my native place. My parents visit them frequently. I am working in different state. To be very frank my brother is a very calm, quite person but he has different bad habits which is very difficult to tolerate. He is addictive, ignorant. His wife knew all these before their marriage as they knew each other for 9 years before their marriage. No one forced them to marry, it was their decision. But now she is continuously blaming my parents for all these and threatening them.She wants the money share from them. She is continuously forcing them to don't allow my brother in the native house. She is using very abusive languages to them and to me also. My marriage is also fixed. She is giving threatening for that also.
Mt parents are near 65 and their health is not alright. It is very difficult for them to take these all. I am also not there to handle all these situation. my brother is escaping and ignorant. No expectation from him for us.
Please help and suggest.

Lodge a complaint with the police. Give a detailed written complaint to the police. After doing a brief preliminary investigation, the police should register a formal complaint against your sister in law. In case they do not take an action, write to the supt. of police. Incase even that fails to help, file a complaint case before the Magistrate under section 156 CRPC.

1. Collect evidence of her such cruel acts on you and your parents by audio/video recording her conversations.

2. Thereafter lodge a police complaint about her such hurling of abuses on you and your old and ailing parents.

3. If police fails to take any action, file a Writ Petition before the Calcutta High Court against police inaction praying for relief from the abuses and cruel acts of your sister in law.

4. She will become alright after receiving the summons from the Court and also weeing the Petition filed by your father.

Under the given situation your mother can file a domestic violence case against her for the cruelties she meted out to her including abusing her in filthy language.

If this is your mother's house then she can ask bot of them to vacate the house and look for residence outside.

This step may bring some relief to your mother and others.
