Legal Question in Family Law in India
Dear Sir
My In laws keep salary of my husband for house expenses. my husband does not give his salary to me. our house expenses are met by my inlaws through the salary of my husband. in my family two of my sister in laws are stayng with us, one of them is married and both are self dependent means well working. Is it really a legal duty of my husband to bear their expense too?? my question is : Do Mother in law or Father in law are really entitled or has right to keep their son's salary to run house expense or it is my right to keep his salary. As far as i know they have right to get food and shelt from his son not to keep his salary.other question is when my sister in laws are working then legally my husband is bound to take care of them?? kindly guide me. my husband also does not seem to be interested in giving his salary to me.

Your husband seems to be an obedient Son and is following the right path taught in our scriptures. No one has a legal right to take your husband salary that includes you as well but your husband being a nice and good son has been giving salary to his parents . Your husband feels that he is the earning member of his family and must have seen his parents sacrificing for there children and this could have made him do what he has been doing . I dont think you can legally ask him to give salary to you or not to take care of his sisters.
it seems that your not well cultured and mannered from your parent. what rubbish you asking? is as a wife you have only right to get food and shelt from husband nothing els.
Be careful dont try to make their life hell
your husband is duty bound to take care of his parents, his unmarried sister and also you along with other family members. in case he does not spent the requisite amount on you, you may talk it out.
Your husband is entitled to spend his salary as per his wishes; except that he is bound to maintain you.
