HELLO

GOOD AFTERNOON!

First of all let me tell you this is not a legal problem.

As far in the relationship of husband and wife you can always ask but you cannot pressurize her which is legally wrong.

I would advise you to discuss the problem and immediately bring a solution on the same day and same minute.

All the Best!

In case of need please contact personally alongwith the documents.

OR

IN CASE OF FURTHER QUERY PLEASE MAIL ME.

Re: Bank Statement

The mental tension you are suffering may result into disruption of your family life. The issue is gaining ground in your mind because of "male ego" - making you feel as 'big boss' of the house.

You may need to work it out with her only with love and respect after making her understand the necessity of making a 'home' belonging to the two of you.

You may need to give her space and time to take her decision about not only not spending on her mother and brother but also about sharing it with you. But you should be conscious of the fact that pushing the issue beyond a point may amount to "cruelty" and "domestic violence" and she may seek your criminal prosecution bringing an end of family life.
