Who's at fault?... “I didn’t even make a prediction” vs. “I accidentally slapped my mother-in-law in the face”

The story of a woman who had conflict with her in-laws after marriage was told. The woman claims she was treated unfairly by her mother-in-law, and an expert advised, “It seems possible to file for divorce and alimony.”
 
According to a JTBC report on the 22nd, the story of a woman, Mr. A, who said she felt unfair due to this conflict between her mother-in-law and her husband, was reported.
 
Ms. A, in her 30s, was preparing to marry her husband and decided not to receive help from adults in both families. They agreed to have a ‘simplified wedding’ without any wedding favors or gifts.
 
However, when her mother-in-law, B, found out about this, she looked down on her. It seems like he was disappointed that he couldn't even receive the same praise that everyone else received.
 
Mr. B called Mr. A that way and scolded him, saying, “It’s too much to do.” He then asked, “Are your daughter and son the same?” and “Don’t tell your son, but send him 10 million won for the wedding gift.”
 
Because she was planning to get married, Ms. A did not want to cause conflict, so she sent the wedding gift price to her mother-in-law late. She told this to her husband and received 10 million won for the wedding gift to give to her mother.
 
Ms. A, who later married, became pregnant, but friction with her mother-in-law continued even after pregnancy.
 
After hearing the news, the mother-in-law advised, “Even if you are pregnant, you must feed your husband for all three meals a day,” and “A wife should not ask to buy this or that at night.”
 
Additionally, the medical staff recommended an emergency cesarean section to Ms. A, who was hospitalized ahead of her due date, but her mother-in-law strongly discouraged the cesarean section on the grounds that “the baby will be smarter and healthier if you give birth naturally.”
 
He then suggested that I go to another hospital that offers natural childbirth. In the end, Ms. A's angry husband kicked her mother-in-law out of the obstetrics and gynecology clinic and gave birth to the child by cesarean section.
 
Before giving birth, Ms. A named her child after her husband and herself, one by one. Her mother-in-law suggested the name, saying she had received the name from a famous monk, and she went on a hunger strike and ended up using that name.
 
This wasn't the only thing. The mother-in-law threw the side dish that Mr. A's mother had made and sent from the countryside into the trash.
 
However, the hair was all in the container, and the mother-in-law asked, “How can I feed this to my son and grandson?”
 
But Mr. A was disappointed. Mr. A expressed his disappointment to his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law slapped her face, saying, “Why are you talking back so arrogantly? Did you learn that from your parents?”
 
Ms. A turned her face away to avoid her touch, but her mother-in-law said, “She is that mother and that daughter,” and cursed her parents while pushing her head with her finger.
 
He claimed that Mr. A, who was angry, shook off his mother-in-law's hand, but in the process accidentally grazed her mother-in-law's cheek.
 
It is Mr. A's fault for touching his mother-in-law's cheek, whether it was a brush or something. At this, Mr. B got very angry and slapped Mr. A. They also hit other parts of the body and took out discarded food and threw it around the house.
 
When her son returned home, the mother-in-law cried bitterly and said, “My daughter-in-law hit me like this.”
 
When Ms. A explained, “That wasn’t it,” her husband raised his voice and said, “Get down on your knees and pray to my mother.”
 
Eventually, Mr. A left home with his son.
 
About this storyAttorney Kim Dong-jin of Daeryun Law Firm told Segye Ilbo on the 24th, “According to Article 840, Paragraph 3 of the Civil Act, if a person is treated extremely unfairly by a spouse’s immediate ascendant family, it is grounds for divorce.”
 
At the same time, he explained, “You can file for divorce due to the other party’s fault,” and “Assault and verbal abuse are considered unfair grounds, and it appears that a claim for alimony is possible.”
 
He advised, "However, there is a problem with proof. If there was any problem between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is important to prove it."
