another thought - there are a lot of law references but no culture. So traditionally women actually have no home of their own. the modern law is creating some rules to protect them.Originally posted by: hellodona
Itv is not real world. Packing up and leaving is recommended in case of hostile in laws because more often than not, you end up dead. But in laws cannot kick you out in India, there are very specific directives that prohibit in laws from kicking out bahu if she wants to stay.
But if you have a domestic violence case no bahu will be allowed to stay with the in laws by officials. So right now no sane person would stay , they would not be allowed to, parents would be called to take their daughter back.
Parents can kick out if you are adult but that also needs court order.
Angad himself wanted to kick her out right after marriage. Legally he is not allowed to, husband has to get court order to evict wife from matrimonial home , right to stay in matrimonial home is protected under Dv act.
But it is advised to leave marital home if in laws torture you because in real world, women end up dead or at the very least in a hospital and need therapy.
In television world of course they take up challenges and prove everyone wrong and take every torture and come out alive only to die when makers want to take gen leap.
