February 15, 2025 at 2:52 pmAfter 30 years of marriage husband is demanding land or hefty amount (โน40-50 Lakhs) of money from wife’s maternal home and harrassing her regularly. She is a house wife (50y) and doesn’t income. Husband is a pensioner(63y).The couple has 2 sons (26y & 22y old).According to the victim she is facing the mental harrasment since 3-4 years. And from last one year harrasment is very severe (no physical harrasment is there) that the wife and sons became soo dipressed and stressed. There is no environment for study of sons and it’s affecting their career progression.
Husband blackmailed them by saying, if wife cannot bring land or money from her maternal home then he will throw out her form the house, disowned his sons and will his all properties to orphanage.
They tried many times to had a discussion regarding the matter and make him understand and convince, but everytime the situation becomes worst.
Wife has a fear of filing case on husband as her sons are unmarried and case filing will hamper on the marriage of her sons. Husband is literally making their life as hell.
What should the family do to live a peaceful life.

Wife’s maternal side said to give her land (worth 5-6lakhs) but husband want more (โน40-50lakhs) And wife doesn’t want to claim forcefully the ancestral share from her maternal home as it will impact their family reputation negativity in the society because her son is unmarried and no one will give her daughter to a family like this.

February 15, 2025 at 5:03 pmThe maternal family seems to be supportive. They can shift with them till the children start earning enough to support the three of them. Why isnโt this option being considered?Legally speaking, why none of the kids are coming forward and registering a complaint against their father with police? In case their father decides to divorce, he will have to give 50% of his own property as alimony. He would be cornered with a complaint. Why this is not happening?

February 15, 2025 at 5:11 pmSons are saying to live separately as the elder one is earning but wife is worried about the negative aspects of the separation in indian society which directly impacts the marriage of her sons and future.-

February 15, 2025 at 7:46 pmIs she living in 1925? Itโs 2025. There will be not be a shortfall of options if the boy is good.If she can be brave, ask them to not shift out of the house, but file for separation. Even if she doesnโt go ahead with actual separation, husband will understand the situation. The relationship is anyway dead, let the husband leave.

February 15, 2025 at 5:32 pmWeird story. My guess is that the husband wants wife to initiate litigation for right to ancestral property which she’s resisting.Another guess: OP is one of the male heirs/ claimants to this property…another wild guess… OP is son of the brother of the lady in question; doesn’t want bua to claim her rightful share in the ancestral property

February 16, 2025 at 8:39 amWhy did you change your earlier post accepting the points I had made?
It’s clear what you are trying to do here and it’s immoral and unethical. Even if you were a neighbour, which you are not, you would have been a really creepy neighbour to get involved in the 1st place

February 15, 2025 at 5:47 pmI highly doubt the legitimacy of this story, and need to hear the husband perspective too. Cuz, it is highly unlikely for the husband to demand dowry outta no where thirty years into the marriage. There could be some land or property issues between the two families.-
BBravekanak6796
OP
February 15, 2025 at 5:57 pmAs far as I know the husband is doing all this by getting frustrated. Because his wife doesn’t have any job/income.
And long back he had land dispute with his own sister. In that time his in laws consoled him not to get mad with all this land and shits and they are always there for help. And now for that “help” he is forcing his wife to get the property worth 50 Lakhs from his in laws.

February 15, 2025 at 6:29 pmThis is a double edged sword.It’s possible thatbthe woman is being cheated out of her inheritance and he’s taking action to force her to start litigation.
On the other hand, once she receives it he may escalate in order to take it away from her – either by guilt or threatening violence. Sons may join in too, she might end up worse off – no money and lost family support.
Then again, getting her inheritance may embolden her to resist his abuse.

February 15, 2025 at 6:49 pmOP has mentioned in response comments that entire episode is related to property dispute.======
She is continuously being forced by the husband to claim maternal property forcefully. But she doesnโt want, because it will affect the family reputation for the sake of her sonโs future and marriage.
======This is not about dowry as such but wifeโs sibling emotionally manipulating wife and husband is not liking that.

February 15, 2025 at 7:29 pmLet me guess, you are her brother and you don’t want to divide ancestral property equally. So you are now creating fake dowry narrative as your brainwashing did not work.-

February 16, 2025 at 6:23 amYour post is heavily skewed against the husband here, lots of unnecessary adjectives against the husband, almost like you hate him or want us to have a huge negative connotation towards him.“Husband blackmailed to not share property?”
A wife is okay to give her to anyone she chooses but not him?
Wife kare toh chamatkar husband kare toh balatkar?Your post is total sus bro

February 16, 2025 at 6:40 pmFirst of all I’m their neighbour and can’t give her share…. My query is that her fair share doesn’t worth โน50 Lakhs, despite her husband is forcing to bring that amount. If it’s not dowry then what type of offence is it?

February 20, 2025 at 5:45 amNAL here, I will be answering this question:>What should the family do to live a peaceful life.
She should file a litigation against her family for inheritance. Any kind of decision on such cases take years if not decade. His husband would be either dead or rendered physically and mentally useless. She can withdraw her petition in future. This will bring peace to her husband and sons for time being. However, she would destroy her relationship with her maternal family (depending upon the value of inheritance, a lot of people would argue that it’s worth it. I leave that choice to the concerned person)
