Life is not a Dream

Dear OP,
I think then u should first get to a safe place and then make any decisions. Is there any place u can go? Decide about the baby later. If u are sure u are pregnant. First confirm that.

Be safe before confronting him.

 

"Will the Guy's parents be treated the same way if they take money?"

Dear OP, no they will not be. Not that you are not aware but this is our system. Son inherits the parents property or debt. He is completely responsible for their well being or to benifit from them. Girls parents give whatever they want to their daughter during marriage. Girls parents are not expected to give anything there after even if they become billionaires after that. When some one has a daughter and a son they are not giving equal to both of their children. They are giving what they want during the girls marriage. There may be exceptions but this is the general practice in society.

I know the law says otherwise but I havent seen any one looking at laws for this. Infact it is an over reach of the law into people's personal matters.

 

Now that you mention that you are gainfully working, I would think you should be able to do whatever you want to do with atleast some portion of that money.

Now you mentioned that there is violence involved. If it got to this point, I dont know why you are taking it. Especially being financially independent and no kids. If you are in US I dont know how this suicide attempt/violence didnt get to the notice of police. Anyway it appears you are better off without this marriage even if you are pregnant.

What I am still not able to understand is how a person that supported you during infertility/miscarriage and helped your sisters marriage behave as bad as you are describing. It doesnt add up unless something went very wrong in between.

In anycase no body has the right to lay a hand on you or threaten with violence. I think you should report to police or something.

 

Has this happened to you before? Not arguing, just very curious!

 

Dear ains,
Don't get worked up with one negative comment. You concentrate on the problem at hand. Let us know if you have a safe place to go. Please do that first.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Listen he will give such threats. It's not easy to get goondas. Where are they available? Can we just hire them...no.
It's empty threat and ur parents will be able to take care of themselves. Call them and inform them that u are going to a safe place. Don't tell them where . Also tell them not to entertain DH's call.if they pick up just to say that they know he tortured u and so u left.
If u want to do this,there will be drama. Can't be helped. Whichever city u are in,look for south Asian women's shelter. I can help u, just PM me.
Good luck
