Its nothing like girls hate their in-laws may be at times their thinking doesnt match and its very obvious girls have to adopt themselves to a totally new atmosphere amongst new people.Its just a factor of compromise some girls have to compromise and some things in-laws have to.If it doesnt happen then it leads to misunderstandings and tussles.

I am on with your analysis . More and more girls do not want to live with their in-laws together , expecially moderns . I think one of the important reasons is they have thinking gaps against their in-laws . Thus they often misunderstand each other . This is a social problem now .

Im not sure but I also observed that to be true with most of them. On my own experience, I hate them because they look down on me and like they are belittling you and your like the only person they are monitoring all the time. It's like they are always waiting for you to commit mistake and then celebrate if you do, because they now have another reason to hate you or tell other people why their son had a big mistake choosing you. I do understand that from my observation, but it's hard to be in that situation.. I hate them because they hate me too.

hi edward, There are several factors why other marital people do hate their in-laws..One of them is the social stigma that bring negative feedback regarding their in-laws experiences. Second, is The possibility that there is an increase tag of war between two parties, one party is the couple in a relationship and the other party is the family of the other couple that may intentionally or not affect their marriage relationship. The presence of conflicts as to views, and decision making may affect any of them and may result to marital conflicts, like affection and other main problems may arise which one of them believe that these in-laws give them pain or not a good contributory factor in their marital relationship. Sometimes, we have to accept that their are older families who have strong attachment even they are already married and some do think that the attachment it brings does not give any independence on the their marital plans and kind of family to raise. It is also a cause for some in-laws who exercise so much power over their sons/daughters who are married already that possibly can be like a tug of war event that need to put so much effort and heat to win the game. It is also a matter of pride and giving enough patience and understanding that the role of in-laws must be of supportive type rather than a dominating one. Cases like these happen for many reasons we cannot control but minimize.But, if both parties have one goal, then I guess there would be no problem regarding their in-laws relationships.
