According to a survey by the National Population and Family Development Board, interference of mothers-in-law is the main reason for divorces in India. I don’t know whether the Director General of the Board himself took permission from his mother-in-law to conduct such a risky survey. Ekta Kapoor has churned out hundreds of episodes of Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and made millions but mind it; she took this risk before getting married.
But still, I am at a loss to understand why most people are paranoid about their mothers-in-law? Why there are heaps of jokes on this relationship? This issue can even cause fights among friends. "Look Shreya, I have been backbiting about my mother-in law for an hour and you haven’t even said a word against yours. This is very unfair." All laws of nature fail when you face your mother-in-law. Maybe that’s why Newton never attempted to formulate any hypothesis on this mysterious relationship. They say Adam and Eve were the happiest couple because neither of them had a mother-in-law. All said and done, mother-in-law is the most caring relative if the son or the daughter-in-law has equal respect for her. I told my doctor, "Lately, I have started missing my mother-in-law." The doctor said, "It’s something serious. You need a long-term treatment."

Mother-in-law
is that "appendage" of marriage that you can’t change
without changing your spouse. She comes with the package. Two men met
in a pub. One said, "My mother-in-law is an angel." The
other said, "You are lucky. Mine is still alive."
