My husband wants me to deposit my salary into joint savings account?

[jolie]

Hi, I am in Chennai, India.

I am 28 and I am married for 3 years.

So far I was a house wife and my husband took care of all the finances.

He earns just enough to run a family. We are middle-class family and he works in a college as a faculty.

I have started to go to work now, as I have found a good job.

I wanted to keep a separate account for my salary and keep it in savings in my name. My children, parents and brother will be the beneficiary, if I die. Anyway husband is earning, so why should I give him the money that I have worked hard to earn?

My husband says as we are a team and are running a family, all money is common between us both and so must be in a joint account.

I did not agree and I said as the head of the family it is his responsibility to take care of all of us. Since we have been ok with what he earns for 3 years, I said he should manage all expenses with that money itself. Let him save and keep money for old age from his salary.

My salary I want to keep for my own security - what if he dies or leaves me?

This led to an argument and he said when I am staying in his house and having all rights on his salary, why can't he have the same rights on my salary. After calmly talking, I did not agree. So he is using strong words.

He says if I cannot share my salary, then why he should spend on my groceries, clothes etc. He says

I should buy all my food and clothes from my salary.

I know these are words from anger, but:

1. Do I have full rights on his salary and property?

2. Does he have full rights on my salary and property that I may buy with my salary?

Can I say in court that he is forcing me to give my salary, and hence it's cruelty?

I don't want to ask for divorce. But BY LAW DOES HE HAVE SAME RIGHTS ON MY SALARY AND PROPERTY AS I HAVE ON HIS SALARY AND ALL PROPERTY HE HAS?

Law favours me, right? :-) :-)

you not share your account
if your husband want money then you give the money from your account
but not open any joint account

I don't know about Indian law but here in Britain, it would be deemed as unfair. In my case, my fiance and I both have jobs, we both share the bills and are a team. It's fair and any money left over we can save.

You could save if you wanted to and share your wage too. Try applying for life insurance and take the strain from your husband by using your wages to help with household bills etc.

I know that in your culture a man is mainly responsible for providing for his family, but I thought women there were becoming more self sufficient too.

So compromise with your husband, take out life insurance and offer to put the rest towards the household expenses, even if you don't want a joint account.

Question1. Do I have full rights on his salary and property?
Answer 1. No. During life time, his self acquired property he has full right of manner of disposal and your self acquired property you have a similar right. The family maintenance of earning spouses is a joint responsibility. After the death of husband/ wife, in the absence of a will for different disposal, all family members (wife/husband and children) have equal share.
Q2. Does he have full rights on my salary and property that I may buy with my salary?
A2. No. Answered in A1 itself

Q3.Can I say in court that he is forcing me to give my salary, and hence it's cruelty?
A3. He can not compel you to put your salary in a joint account. If he compels you to that effect, you have the right to complain

Stop asking the same question over and over................

[bing49]

You have asked in another question that " Is the wife wrong here"?.
If you have told your husband that your past boy friend has rubbed your nipples better than him,then you bloody b**tch,You are deserved for any bloody thing.Shut up and get out.
