Legal Question in Family Law in India
If the daughter is under the joint guardianship of her grandparents i.e. in laws, even though her mother is alive and go and meet her often at the station where the daughter is accomodated with grandparents(husband's parents), then the ownership of the daughter is how long can be sustained by the mother of the daughter. Because there are often times when clashes, tensions, conflicts, anxiety bad mood on one or the other pretext of in-laws(including mother-father-in-law, or sister-brother-inlaws) prevails and endangers relationship not only mother and daughter but also between the daughter's father i.e. my husband and daughter's mother. Is it a tool of separating mother and daughter in the long run, beacuse the mother is blamed for being occupied in service from 8.00a.m. to 3.00p.m and the guardianship of the daughter's property (who is minor) is also under threat as it leads to domestic, verbal abuse and violence, so the daughter's father under the pressure of his family wish to sell it but it needs my consent and sign. So the custody of the property, and custody of the child is manipulated in different hands-former's guardian I am and the later's guardian at present are in-laws i.e.grandparents of the child. At both level the mother and daughter are misused and are in confusion what is right and what is wrong. She at her school and in her house has to prove that she is sound from all sides and I have to exert (as I do not live in the same station where my daughter is , as my workplace is on different station and my husband and I live at present together but always with war at ends on these grounds) in the similar manner, but everything is at stake both of us (mother and daughter)do not let in peace and mutual understanding unless we keep everyone please with our giving up tendency. In order to be away from threats and fear of violencet both have surrendered their security, safety, rights and responsibilities according to the terms set by in-laws and husband. So kindly suggest how to do away with this complex situation in the long run. Because this would be history later on and it would influence the relationship and the mental state and physical well-being.Secondly in-laws avoid being now together with the daughter, me and my husband when it comes to school functions or b'days or when it comes to public which is beyond their group of family, so that arises a query that what are the intentions of my husband or my in-laws. (This all has its roots on different background, which is long to mention here and that has become history to the present turning situation) from Anonymous concerned person
