Being a daughter-in-law is one of the most challenging and overlooked life experiences in our society. You might think no one knows what you’re going through, until now that is! Here at We Married The Family we are dedicated to unpacking the complexities of in-laws and multigenerational living. We dive into all the unspoken aspects of this family dynamic, the emotional challenges and relationship issues that come with it. Helping you navigate the intricacies of these relationships, to facilitate more harmony within yourself, your marriage and your family.
In today's episode I'm joined by licensed therapist and adjunct professor Maliha Khan from Houston, Texas to talk all things Jama Taqseem! A thought provoking, psychological dissection of the popular drama that depicts joint family living with a very interesting mixture of dynamics and events.
It gave us so much to talk about! Gender roles and expectations, culture clashes, fear in the family system, systemic change and resistance, healthy and unhealthy communication, sexual harassment, boundaries, intergenerational change and other important bits to do with couple and family dynamics in the South Asian culture and joint family systems.

Episode #20 | “My In-Laws Keep Criticising Me”
A common occurrence that really damages a woman’s self-esteem is the constant criticism from her in-laws. It’s a tough thing to overcome and you might spend many years in fearing their words, being scarred by their words or overthinking them.
Working on your perspective and your own worth will help you to build your strength back up. Remember to be kind to yourself because you’re dealing with a lot already!
