ANSWER:

This is your right in Islam but I don’t know whether your husband will be able to do that. You need to totally ignore her verbal abuse as if she doesn’t exist! She unconsciously lives on making you stressed out and saying bad things or being impolite. If you manage to control yourself, never defend yourself, never argue and never reply to any of her comments, you will turn the table on her and she will feel silly for failing to make you respond or react negatively.  Simply give her a smile whenever she talks trash at you and give her deaf ears.

She is mentally challenged and very abusive. I’ve been living with her since 6 months after my father in laws death. It’s been very tough for me and my life has been affected with the amount of verbal fighting going on 24/7. She gives us no privacy to go outside together even for 5 minutes. Can I ask my husband to move us separately in another house or is it wrong. He’s the only son she has.

Alhamdulillah I m earning good, I do not want my father-in-law to spend his money on her daughter (my wife) in neither way by gifting her gold ornaments or in the form of dresses or money. I dislike him because of his rude behavior towards me, he do not have talking manners, is it fine if I ask him to stop OR I ask my wife not to accept any gift from him. Plz advice.
