A. Dear client,

You have the legal right as a married woman and wife to reside in the matrimonial house at any time, and they cannot legally prevent you from doing so. However, obtaining a court order is advisable to address any potential resistance from their side effectively, involving the authorities and the police if necessary.

A. Dear Client,
If you believe you are being wrongfully denied access to your matrimonial home, you may consider filing a complaint with the local police. Send a formal notice to your in-laws, through a lawyer, stating your intention to return to your matrimonial home and requesting their cooperation.
