I got married exactly a year ago. I and my husband had no issues on each other. But his parents wants us to do each and everything for the sake of their neighbor, who is also their relative by someway. My in laws are more concerned about their neighbor than their son's life. Each and everything that I do in my in laws home should be in such a way that the neighbor (relatives) should not get hurt anyway even if it hurts me, that's not a big deal for them. The neighbor is wholly dependent on my husband's income. He does everything for them. Even though, they say something bad about me to my in laws, then it comes to my husband and then he fights with me every time. This is happening for the past one year. And at one point, I was given an impression that I can be thrown out of my husband's home. Due to depression I tried to commit suicide, which no one cared about. And I was brought to my mother's home. I am fed up of adjusting with everyone. My husband is so innocent to believe his parent's words. I really need to file a complaint against the neighbor who is not letting my family to live in peace. Please suggest me under which category should I file a case. Also, please let me know if the neighbor can be guilt for such nuisance.
Ideal situation would be to convince your husband to shift to another locality so that you are not forced to take care of your neighbour
2) you cannot file case against your neighbour as your husband and in laws want to take care of him
3) he has not abused you or assaulted you
You can file Domestic Voilence against neighbor that they are doing mentally torture to you by the way of passing messages or communication through in-laws and in this the whole families peace of mind gets convert into disturbance.
I need a clear advice on such family issues which we can deal legally and exact law name and section number and the Act name as well to lodge a complaint against the neighbor nuisance. Also advice me, for such issues, should make the neighbors or my in laws to be guilt? But in my case, both the neighbor and in laws are causing problems in husband and wife relationship

1. As u have mentioned that ur neighbor happens to be your husband's relative, and has harrassed u in such a grave manner which has driven you to commit suicide then u should file a case of 498A Indian penal code, which amounts to cruelty by husband or his relatives. It includes ur in laws and that neighbor cum relative.
2. This case will be either done through going to a the local police station and filing the charges or directly filing a case in your local court of your area. Kindly clearly mention d person s involved in d cruelty done to you, type of cruelty and d whole suffering you have undergone.
3. There will be a clear cut punishment for them & if proved guilty they will suffer jail & fine.
4. U will need d help of an local advocate.
5. Filing case of nuisance will not help u much so file 498A against them.
6. U need to b strong enough as life is a precious gift of God & should not b affected by others I'll doing. Suicide itself is a criminal offence so never do try again.
7. It is always advisable that one should never succumb to threats, I'll doings by others. Instead fight back in a brave manner and take charge of ur husband and make him understand that how important r u in his life. God bless u.

You can file complaint case under Section 12 of DV Act, 2005 to seek protection order to stop them from committing all acts of domestic violence and also residence order in the shared household of your husband.
Hi,
Firstly.. sorry for what is happening with you.
1. Your husband is too innocent that he only cares for his parents complaints against you and never cared to listen your version.
2. Your in laws are more concerned for your neighbor's/relatives stupidity, than your comfort and welfare.
3. Despite of all these, your husband helps your relatives financially..
4. None from your matrimonial house cares for you and your compassion.
5. Rather understanding your problems with your in laws and neighbours, your husband support them.
6. You have witnessed your husband and in laws knocking out you from their house, more specifically upon your neighbours complaints on you.
7. Finally your parents too asked you to adjust with situations or go with flow..
Is that all??
Then,
1. First you let us know what's your educational status and financial resources.
Later you have to consider few points..
1. You said your husband is innocent on one hand and on the other you say that he cares nothing for you, except fighting to you on your in laws complaints against you.
2. In a relationship, if there is no respect for each other and when trust issue turns bad.. that relationship has no worth. At least your husband has to care for your concerns in your matrimonial house, which completely lacked.
3. Think and give an attempt to pacify this issue with the help of your parents and well-wishers.
4. If things aren't working out still, then try to live seperately with your husband.. talk to him and make him understand how the things are ruining your self respect and rights in your family.. and even after all these genuine efforts to pacify your issues.. still nothing seems positive.. it's high time for you to understand that they care nothing for you and your life is going to turn miserable.
3. But whatever it is relationships are made to stand and not to collapse for minor issues.. give a big and another chance to resolve these..
4. If you go legally again your neighbours, you will have to suffer from your in laws and your husband who is puppet to his parents, even then things go worst.
5. Finally if fate decides the other way, then make absolute evidences with respect to the harrasment you are undergoing from all those people you are ought to Sue. Then you can file a complaint under PWDVA (domestic violence case). Not nuisance case. Make sure that evidence shall be strong, if not the case against your neighbours and inlaws goes vain. You have to prove that those neighbours are your relatives, if not case against them don't stand.
All the best.
I wish things will set right with mediations.
A domestic violence complaint must be filed against him. Although he doesn't live in the same house but he is totally dependent on your husband and is a neighbour. He has full access to your house too.
The husband is ok but is unde rthe influence of that neighbour and your inlaws. File a case against your inlaws too under s.12 of the domestic violence act.
You need to file domestic violence complaint against your inlaws in which you also make accused to your nieghbours for creating nuisance in your family life.
You cannot Lodge any other case against your neighbors for creating nuisance in your family life.
