Living in the husband's family house after marriage

July 25, 2018 2:57am CST
I don't know about others but I believe after marriage there should be privacy for the newly wedded.living in the husband's family house will enable prying eyes especially from domineering in laws. I know it can save some housing cost but I.think one's privacy and sanity might be compromised. What's your opinion on this?

Every thing depends on the culture at your place and the need of the hour! In traditional Hindu families a girl lives in husband's place along with his parents. In joint families the family comprises of all the brothers of the family and their family all living under one roof.=, when newly wedded girl also lives. But today with changing times and needs many couples are leaving the homes to have their own settlement! Thanks!

definitely. newlyweds should not live with any of their parents, it could most probably cause conflict But some are okay it really depends on each family

I do agree with you on that but there are some cases when the couple is not yet ready to get a house of their own and they only have that kind of option.

yea,but I believe there should be planning for that before the marriage what do you think?

When the parents are so accommodating and there are few people living there, it is good to stay there, but if the new couple could already afford to have their own house, they should do it for privacy.

some can afford but don't just want to move

Ideally it is good that you live separate and build your own family together. But there are cases that may be practical especially when you just got married and are not yet fully ready to live separately. For me, for as long as it’s temporary arrangement and the inlaws are accommodating then that’s fine. But if the husband’s intention is to stay there for quite sometime then it would not be healthy anymore.

I don't like the idea. Still I prefer to have privacy.
