2 years ago
Im a 29 year old woman wanting divorce on grounds on mental cruelty by mother in law. Its been 1.5 years of our marriage(Jan,2020). My husbands family is very rich. My wedding expense was around 50 lakhs. My father still has to pay them 12 lakhs as it was too much for him , he had asked for time to pay before wedding and they agreed. The mental cruelty is not because of money but because of behavioral issues of mother in law. My father in law also paid my fees of 9 lakhs (medical student postgraduation) after marriage out of his wish . Now me and my husband are wanting divorce, can he claim all this money back?
It is important to know the facts of your case for rendering proper legal advice. But you can sue your mother-in-law as per section 498A of IPC. Please contact a lawyer and get proper legal advice.

A.Dear Mam,
There is no provision in our Hindu Law that in laws can ask for the money from the girl's family, as it is illegal to demand the money from them. In case if they are still demanding the money from your family then, it is your right that you can file the dowry case against your in laws. If now at this stage that you both have decided to get divorce by mutual consent, then, you can go ahead and file the application before the court.

A.Dear Mam,
If both of you are ready to get divorce, then, there might be possibility that at the time of deciding the amount of alimony amount they can raise the issue if they want to otherwise, no need to discuss or raise the issue and ask for the good amount of alimony.
