A city court recently dealt with a role- reversal, where a mother sought relief from her quarrelling son and daughter-in-law.
MUMBAI: A son getting caught in a crossfire between mother and wife is a story straight out of an Indian soap opera, but a city court recently dealt with a role- reversal, where a mother sought relief from her quarrelling son and daughter-in-law.
Additional Sessions Judge R B Malik passed an interim order last week, restraining son and daughter-in-law of Usha Vyas (name changed) to leave the house where the family lives, within four weeks.
Vyas has filed a civil suit to evict her son and daughter -in-law from the family's house in suburban Vile Parle. The house stands in her name.
Generally these kind of suits are filed by landlords to evict tenants or trespassers. But in this case what led Vyas to get an interim eviction order against her own son and daughter-in-law was the couple's turbulent marital life.
Vyas' lawyer Nitin Vatkar argued before the court that her son and daughter-in-law had a troubled marriage, and in fact the son had filed a divorce suit in the family court.
But the family court did not grant her son's application to have his wife restrained from living in the same house.
The daughter-in-law did not get along well with 76-year-old Vyas and her 80-year-old husband too. In fact, Vyas and her daughter-in-law had filed complaints and counter-complaints in police station alleging ill-treatment.
Finally, to get rid of the quarrelling couple, Vyas filed a civil suit, claiming she and her husband could not stand the daily scenes in the house.
"The court passed an interim order asking the son and his wife to vacate. Such interim orders are rare, but the court followed Supreme Court's ruling in similar case, Vatkar said.
