This terrible to admit. We married just 1 month back and now my father in law is harrasing me. He comes to the kitchen when i'm alone and squeezes my assets. I resist but i cant do anything else. Should I tell my husband. My frnd told me to move out and stay some place else with my husband. This is not possible as it is a big joint family. Please suggest what i should do???

One good whack with a frying pan upside his head ought to do the trick. Then let him explain why you hit him.

Tell him to stop! Threaten to tell your Mother, the Police, the Mailman, the Doctor, a Lawyer, his Best Friend. Write a letter to the Paper, Tell the neighbors, Put up signs in front of the house telling passerbys whats happening. Make it difficult for him. Tell your Priest or Pastor. Never say Die! Stay with it until he stops

I think it is best you talk to your husband about it... it is a double wedged sword but it can help as welll... or else you just scare ur Father by telling him that u would complain to your husband... hope this improve for you...

what do you mean you can't do any thing else , you sure can tell him to keep his hands and thoughts to himself and if he doesn't it will be a family matter, You husband should know so that he can protect you from this man, if you do not say any thing he is taking it that you are OK with his fondling and groping. Speak up, if you don't it will escalate to more and more demands.

I think that you should tell your husband about it and if he doesn't listen to you move out and go somewheres else.

tell your husband. and if you can produce any proof the better. dont be afraid. coz people who gets afraid are the people who gets to be more abuse. tell your husband and if he love you and want to protect you, no matter how joint big family they are, he will make an excuse or way for you both to move out. Now if he doesnt make an action on it or worst wont believe you, make a legal complaint. It may be embarrassing but it's difficult that your father in law might enter into your bedroom or bathroom. show them your serious. but before making this actions, when your father in law do this again, say no, or tell him your not comfortable with what he's doing. for the evidence/proof that i'm telling you, a video recorded or even sound recorded would be good enough.good luck
