Legal Question in Family Law in India

Family Disput
At present there is a dispute in my home between my mother and my wife. and its very minor problem, but the issue is that whatever happens in my home even if the problem is minor, my wife tells to her mother (My mother-in-law) and as a result of that problem becomes more serious, i talked to my wife and tried to explain her that if there is any problem between you and my mother you just tell me you don't inform to your mother. I told her that it will be more better if we solve the problem but she is not ready to understand...

Everyday She make a call to her mother and discuss with her mother that what happens in my house today.

Problem is very minor even though i talked to my mother regarding this, first of all when i came to know about this problem, at that time i thought that it was my mother's fault but when my father told me about what happened than i realized that it was the fault of my wife...

At present my wife is pregnant, so because of that problem i allowed her to go her home after i took her at her home my father talked to me about the problem than i realized that it is the fault of my wife....

So i want to know that can i put the resonable restriction on phone calling to her mother say 2 day in a week?

Re: Family Disput

Your problem is more social than legal. It is your duty as a husband to keep your wife within certain resonable limits. No Indian law prohibit the husband from putting reasonable restriction on her wife phone calling if the circumstances so warrant. You must in the meanwhile try to make your wife understand the problem in a very congenial and healthy atmosphere. You may seek the advice of some good family counsellor.

Re: Family Disput

You may NOT need to put any restriction on your wife; rather you may ask your own parents to be more careful in their handling of family issues.

If you try to impose restrictions on your wife, you may be guilty of committing "cruelty" and "domestic violence" against her and may suffer criminal prosecution.
