^Baji Jee, i know some in-laws are cruel/judgemental/possessive and difficult to deal with, some women may justifiably want to live in a separate house, but there are examples of the opposite too. I know a couple, wife started asking for living in separate house soon after marriage and that too in a different city. After 1 year the guy finally bought a new house and shifted. After 2 months, the wife's family (1 mom and 1 sister) moved into the new house and rented their own. And now that couple is divorced.
I am saying that its not a rule that wife has to have a separate house and it should be decided on individual basis.
These issues should be and must be discussed prior to marriage, it would solve a lot of problems in relationship.
Bhai Sahab,
I know couples who got divorced while living with inlaws. Guess why they got divorced? Because of these ghareloo jhagre and how everyone gets involved in the couples' marital affairs. Whats your point?
IT IS A RULE that if the wife so chooses, she will have every right to ask for a separate home. There is nothing selfish or bad about that, just life. To avoid misunderstandings, its the best route to go.
