    Many people say worship parents but what would people say if these very parents turn into villians by ill treating their daughter in laws and thereby destroying their sons married life as well. There people just worship God and not human beings. But if sometimes the daughter in law is strong then such evil parents end up on the streets as the son has no other option. Parents do wake up and treat your daughter in laws well just as you treat your daughters.

    Henry, DDT is banned!. How many kgs you want!?. Black money is illegal!, do you want to know where black money is created!?. Sex determination is banned!, do you want to know where it is done!?. Maggi is banned for excess lead!, do you want to know where adulteration is not there (that's easy!).

    Its a sad news. People are taking unwise decision for any issues. They should be strong and fight for justice. Poornima would have approached court for justice. I could not understand why these in-laws need from a girl who comes to their as daughter-in-law. Such people should be treated as criminals and punished. It is if a crime on the part of girls. Its shame on the part of humanity for harassing daughter-in-laws.

    My feeling about in-laws are that they are very demanding and dominating, these types of in-laws should be called outlaws, plain and simple...
