ANSWER:

You are not obliged in Islam to serve your in-laws and you are not sinful for not giving his family time or care however, you must not stop him from serving them as this is his obligation. You need to be diplomatic and tactful as his family are most likely whispering bad things about you in his ears. If you are not careful, by saying the wrong things or behaving in the wrong way, this might confirm what they are filling his head with. Don’t nag him and don’t demand his presence. Tell him that you miss him and that his daughter misses him and that you would be waiting till he is ready, without pressuring him.

I have tried my best to fulfill my husband rights on me. But he ignores me when he is with his family. I fought for his time & care also I used to live with my parents when my husband lived out of country. Due to this my husband is not happy and blames me for not giving his family time and care. His family is very demanding and thinks they have more right on my daughter than anyone else.
