Bowing is not permissible. After marriage, your parents in law are your mahram and you can kiss them.

sheikh,I wish I didn’t have to complain about my in laws. It’s unethical I know. How do I deal with my mum & sis in law… they keep calling my mother up, spreading outragous lies about me at the say so of my psychopath husband. All of my in laws are terrified of him especially his mother by her own admission. They made the relationship between me & my mum turbulent. Advice?

Ask your mother not to believe her and ask your husband to stop them from calling your mother or demand moving out to a separate home.

My parents and other family openly insult my wife and do not respect me as I earn much less than them but I do not shoult back out of respect for them as my parents n elders. I feel very upset that my wife has to go through this and guilty because I can’t help her here (May Allah reward her patience). However, is this fair? What are my rights as the youngest family member?

You should stand up for your wife with respect and while being dutiful to your parents. If they insult her in front of you do not take her to meet them as this is not an obligation on her.

My mother in law has been avoiding my family because of a family dispute. We have been trying to make amends but she is refusing to Salam us, walk away from us. What is the best advise and solution?

Leave her as she is and don’t pay any attention to her. If your family see her accidentally, they should give Salam. But they don’t have to go and visit her or call her at all! Leave her and how she wants to be.
