what is the meaning of "GRUHA HIMSA CHATTAM"

Plz explain.

Further the best way is let them go in a seprate house and made it all in writing that ur family and your brother and her wife dont have any relation now and her wife have took away all her articles and they will not enter into your house.

But in reality after getting seprate house your brother can come to met you but her wife will not be able to made any false allegation upon whole of you.

handle carefully. try to sort out the matter with a positive approach. it may be better to avoid litigation and settle the dispute amicably. the legal approach may create more problems and may be costly and time consuming with no certain results.

It is fortunate that nothing has happened till now, the matter is serious and your brother has no other go then to go separate.

The problem could also be that you are still unmarried and your marriage burden is on your brother.

You have said that your sister-in-law's family members did a big issue telling that your mother will kill her, this is enough for you and your family to cut off your relationships with your brother, may whatever you have with him.

In earlier days a bride has to cutt off her relationship with her parents after marriage but now in some family it is safe for them if the bridegroom cuts off his relations with his family if the wife he marries is cruel.

The police and the law always is on the side of bride i.e., on the side of your sister-in-law, so try to see the danger that is lurking above your family's head.

I am happy to see that you want to save and keep a joint family together.

The first thing that you should do is to file criminal complaint against your sis in law whenever she commits a crime. This is critical.

Secondly, through mediators talk to the parents/ people of your sis-in law not to play mischief in your joint family.

Soon you too may be married, so it is better to take these steps and ensure that the Join Family survives. You may ask your husband -to- be to accept the strong joint family system when your match making happens.

warm regards
