Recommending a split!

Based on a relative's recommendation, a gentleman had called me up regarding his daughter's travails
in her married life. His son-in-law is a navyman who, from the girl's family's narrations, appears to be a
guy in need of money, more money and still, more money.

The sad part is that the instigators of this ugly marital discord are the boy's mother and sister. The girl -
who's an only daughter to her parents- has been harried and subjected to torture of an inhuman kind. Unfortunately, the couple has a one year old daughter and currently, the girl and her child have been brought back to her house at Kochi.What the
boy is now insisting upon, is that the girl's parents' must transfer their house onto his name!

The father was trying to find out as to whether I could help him out in sorting out this sordid mess. I've taken on the boy's background, facts about his parents' whereabouts in Thiruvananthapuram and his whereabouts as of now. He needs to be put in the right perspective after hearing out his version.

But based on my gut feeling, I'd told the hapless father that subject to his daughter's approval, they must go and appeal for a divorce as I feel that any marital relationship that's based on economics is a non starter.

The poor child born in wedlock will understandably go through hell but I'm sure, a new life free of fear, taunts and torture is a better bargain than being scarred permanently by continuing in the present situation.

A tricky situation, indeed! Hope I'm able to provide them relief.
