    @Noname,Mangalore,I just understand what you are going through.Even though not personally but from Family ,has undergone this .I would like to advice you,the following.Now you have taken a disicion and married to take responsibility.so you will have to be steady and take your wife and make a seperate home and stay .For sometime mother will be saying son is neglecting,but with time they will arrange with it.That doesnt mean you should neglect her.Be fair to both.Many times when new one Comes home many in laws dont agree to new one.Thats normal.but when it goes too far ,have to decide.Or send wife to work if possible.so you can avoid both staying in front with brooms in Hand.Tell mother smoothly she should give her daughter in law some time to adjust.and she should remember her time as d.in law .or you will go out.That may bring back her on grounds.say her you are married to her and wish a life with her in the future and wish both of them are important to you.wish you good luck.

    There seems to be no substance in mothers complaint.The man should not be so weak to succumb to pressures from wife. There are so many ways to solve marital problems and he should not have go to the extreme step. He has achieved nothing out of his act. She may get married again.Why he has not left any suicide note.

    Boys mother doesnt want to give up her power and wants to dominate the house instead of taking back seat after daughter in law comes. Constantly picks on daughter in law to show her power. Result is war, if son is not strong then God only knows what he will do.....

    True. Just as a father gradually transfers decision making as well as other powers to son, a MIL is supposed to slow down and take a back seat.

    When a grown up, married woman is still expected to do assisting cores and her MIL decides what should/n't be cooked, who should come to the house, where can a member of a family visit or refrain, differences in opinion arise leading to fights.

    If a son separates from his family owing to such problems, his wife is blamed for taking away the son, if she remains united with her in-laws but shares her misery with maternal relatives again its called interference, there is no end, absolutely no end.

    Best is, girls, complete your education and grace a well paid position in your career after which you with your husband can command all the luxuries, including keeping your in-laws busy with complete facilities they deserve leaving no time to nag you.

    Its not at true that only girls get tortured at marriage. Indian people always blame men when a marriage is broken Thats not at all true. Many marriages are broken because of girls too. Some behave so arrogantly as if they own the men they married They torture them and push towards suicide, These kind of things are happening and I think there should be justice in this case. I wish the court act properly here for a man has lost his life. I saw some comments by Bhandrakar here who takes things lightly this is no laughing matter Bahdarkar but a real issue in society. I am sure many men suffer in silence fearing disgrace in society.

    Hi
    I feel every married person has to pass through this situation, I am also one of them. After 8 year I came to know the solution for this. Simple theory... Listen both but do what ever you think... do not follow women (Mother / Wife), take you own step... that should not be fever for both... if it is not work then ignore both for some time... they will come in track

    I also need help for similar issue. There was no issue at all before marriage. I had taken my parents for granted. Things have really changed after marriage and I am undergoing mental trauma as there is lots of nagging and dragging going on between wife, family, her family etc. Issue is very similar to this news. Commenters here say counseling would help etc etc. It is very easy to say but where should I go for counseling?

    Remain in a 'No name' state till matters clear.
    Man, You are afraid to write your name! Situation I think is worse than Divakar Pai's.
    1. Learn to meditate.
    2. Look at your wife, yet remain detached. how you ask? Well somehow...
    3. Look at your mother now with the eyes of a baby-just like when you were born. She will understand.
    4. look at your M.I.L's eyes with a helpless look. She too will understand.
    5. Buy your S.I.L. some new slippers and frocks. they will surely understand.
    6. Who remains? father and father in Law aa? They drink aa ? If they drink only milk then they will understand slowly.
    If they drink xxx and all that you are through!!!
    How's my idea???
    At least try and see...man.
    Isabeku Iddu Jayeesa Beku...
    SRi.Sri. Purandaradasa told for the same reason.
    Nowadays all Sri Si's going in helicopter for same reason. No one wants to 'Eeju'..i.e.swim...All want to fly! Is it not?

    Olidare naari, munidare maari, this nagging is an inborn quality of some women, which no counseling is going to help. You are not alone, there are many who are going thru this problem. I know some couples who had undergone 4 months part time "Marriage preparation course" at St. Mary's in Mumbai and asked them how that helped in day to day married life, some said it is of no use with their wives. However, you can go with your wife for counseling in KMC, Wenlock if it is there or in Social Service dept of Govt or some Christian service centers.

    If this does not help, "Aikava Jagasa, Karava Manasa" in Marathi meaning listen to everybody, but act according to your conscience.
    Taking our own life for such people is not worth, hence, show you are busy and take it easy.

    Dear Jossey...so also Boys mother and siblings should not interfere in the Boys married life and accept the new bride as their own and let them live peacefully. It can be both ways and this applies to the girls family also many a times.

    IS THIS AN IN-LAW PROBLEM? In any case for the future guidance of young couples. ...ONCE THEY ARE MARRIED IT IS BEST THAT THE IN-LAWS DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THEIR DAY TO DAY LIFE.

    In this case damage has been done. Perhaps when any grave situations arise, it is best that they go to councilors to find guidance.

    I don't think either parent wishes to harm the peace/home of their child. Advice both will give, but processing it usefully is the key. The man/woman should tap the wisdom within.

    The girl's mother is good enough to raise the girl till marriage, she turns to be a demon afterwards, is it?
    Hello, don't generalize. If a girl is good enough to be a wife/mother, she has been raised well by her mother.
