Rights of daughter in law after marriage
1 year ago
Can a daughter in law deny the responsibility of her in-laws after marriage and grant a separate house if her husband is supportive of her can any kind of legal action be taken against her?Can she take care of her mother after marriage if she is the single child and keep her mother with her in the property owned by her and her husband?Does a daughter's duty shift after marriage
A.Dear client,
A daughter in law can live in a separate house with her husband, However this can be a ground for divorce if a man's wife refuses to come back to live with her in-laws. Coming to the question if she can take care of her mother after marriage then yes, The law may have made is abundantly clear that daughters are as responsible for parents as sons.
Hope it helps.

A.Dear Sir,
As of right a daughter-in-law cannot claim separate residence. The law laid by Hon’ble Supreme Court is as follows:

Indian Court grants divorce to man whose wife refused to live with in-laws
India’s supreme court has granted a divorce to a man on the grounds of “cruelty” after his wife refused to share a home with her in-laws, effectively ruling that a married woman must live with her husband’s family.
Justice Anil R Dave, one of the the most senior judges in India, said the wife’s desire to leave her in-laws’ home was inspired by “western thought” and violated traditional values of Indian Hindus.
“In normal circumstances, a wife is expected to be with the family of the husband after the marriage,” stated the supreme court ruling, which also dismissed the wife’s attempt to kill herself as a plot to “torture” her husband and his relatives.
There is no legal obligation for men to live with their parents, so the ruling still allows couples to live independently if men choose to set up a separate home. But the case had been seen as a test, pitting the rights of women against traditional Hindu values.
Activists said the ruling left millions of women who were in unhappy marriages or with abusive husbands even more vulnerable.
“If you look at the language the court has used, it’s very regressive,” said Tenzing Chusang, from the Women’s Rights Initiative, a lawyers’ collective. “If you make the grounds of divorce very lenient for men, it makes the woman very vulnerable.”
Divorce in India carries a huge stigma: there are few financial provisions for divorced women, and little legal support.
Chusang said: “In India there’s no such thing as shared matrimonial property or equal division of assets. All she gets if the husband divorces her, and that too after years of litigation, is a minimal maintenance payment. What can she do? She has to stay.”
The judge said the wife’s claims that her husband was having an affair were fabricated, and that her suicide attempt was a devious attempt to manipulate her husband’s family.
