I am a working woman, and my husband has issues when I send money to my family. I also support his family, pay room rent, and cover daily expenses. Now he is demanding that I give him details of all my expenses and seek his permission before sending money to my family. When I told him it's my money and I’ll inform him but not take permission, he told me to leave my job. He said, “I don’t want your job or your money if you won’t take my permission.” He’s now threatening to divorce me if I don’t quit my job. Can I file a case against him?
You have full legal rights over your salary and job. Your husband cannot force you to quit your job or control your personal income. His behavior may count as emotional and financial abuse, which is covered under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can file a complaint in the Women’s Cell, Protection Officer, or directly in court. You may also seek a protection order, residence rights, and financial support if needed. A family lawyer can help you take proper legal steps. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
