Legal Question in Family Law in India

Sirs/Madam,

Kindly clarify whether me as the daughter in law of the family married through a community arranged marriage, will have rights to stay in the house owned by my father in law, wherein my deceased mother in law lived till her death, my husband lived till marriage and continuing now. The step mother is creating problems to me and my husband that this house belongs to my father in law (single name of FIL). Me and my husband are not bothered about whether we get share or not, but i want to stay in this house which was shown to me and my parents as my residence after the wedding. My father in law is behaving puppet of my step mother in law and the step MIL is expecting money, rent and money from us to continue to stay in the house owned by the father of my husband. Can my inlaws ask me and my husband to move out of the house right now. Do i have right of matrimonial residence in this house. This is the address printed in the wedding cards of both the parents. Kindly advise.

you have put this query so many times.I have spoken to your father also. If the property is self acquired you have no right to residence.He is married and happy with the women like you are with your spouse. Live and let live. You and your spouse can lead a peaceful and happy life and build many such houses in your lifetime. So stop eying this property and move on in life.
