12 Aug 09 Why Mothers-in-law are de-facto villains?
Women are hardwired to hate their mother-in-laws who more often than not become soft targets of social defamation. The moment a mother becomes a mother in law, she becomes the numero uno villain in everybody’ eyes and the poor mothers-in-law thrive with this negative publicity.
We have Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Daughter’s Day, Friendship Day and what not days, but we do not have Mother-in-law Day, which in itself explains the poor and despicable condition of these women who marry their sons.
Through this website All India Mother-in-Law Protection Forum is being formed to protect the rights and interests of Mothers-in-law.

Let me kniow what the requirement is. I m from Dehradun & there is no active member from here. we see how it goes here.
Indra Gandhi was a Mother in Law who had the guts to pack off her DIL lock stock and barrel in public glare!!
Mrs Gandhi decided she had got the opportunity she had waited for all these months to get rid of her turbulent daughter-in-law.
Mrs Gandhi returned fromLondon on the morning of 28 March 1984 — determined to call the shots.When Maneka came to greet her, she dismissed her curtly: ‘I will speak to you later.’ Word was sent to her that she was not expected to join the family for lunch and the food would be sent to her in her room. About 1 p.m another message was sent to her that the Prime Minister would like to see her. Maneka was prepared for a dressing down. She was in the sitting room when Mrs Gandhi walked in barefoot. She ordered Dhawan and Dhirendra Brahmachari to come in as witnesses to what she had to say to Maneka. According to Maneka she was fuming with rage and was barely comprehensible as she screamed, wagging her finger at Maneka. ‘You will get out of this house immediately.’ Maneka assumed an air of innocence and asked, ‘Why? What have I done?’ Mrs Gandhi screamed back, ‘I heard every word of the speech you made!’ Maneka added, ‘It was cleared by you.’ This caused another outburst. Mrs Gandhi accused her of disobeying her wishes, and for good measure added, ‘There was venom in every word you spoke. Get out this minute. Get out!’ she shrieked. ‘The car has been ordered to take you to your mother’s house.’Maneka stood her ground.She did not want to go to her mother’s house and needed time to pack. ‘You will go where you are told. Your things will be sent to you later,’ said Mrs Gandhi and again used strong words for Amteshwar. Maneka started sobbing and left for her room shouting back that she would not allow her mother to be insulted. Mrs Gandhi followed her barefooted on the gravel road shouting within the hearing of the staff and sentries outside; ‘Get out! Get out!’ Meanwhile, Feroze Varun had been taken to Mrs Gandhi’s room.

Hi All,
I am an Advocate and a senior citizen. During my long legal practice I have seen and felt enough of human nature. I have been conducting divorce and all ancilliary cases for and against women. I have also seen plight of the aged men and women and how they have been treated by their own children for a considerable time. I fully support the views, your forum has expressed herein. I congratulate all the founding members of this organisation for their very timely action in organising this platform for the much maligned mothers-in-law. God bless this forum and its endeavours to get justice (though elusive till now due to infamous mindset of the society as a whole) for the mothers, who have the misfortune of getting their sons married to this or that girl. Amen.
Y. K. Kalia, Advocate.
