“Clash of interest among family members, especially between mother-in-law and his daughter-in-laws lead to the rise of old houses.
Every daughter-in-law must understand that he will also be the mother-in-law in the future and will face the same situation.
If love and harmony survive inside Families, peaceful family life can be achieved, “he said.
