Question

My brother in law always shows anger on me and whenever he sits with others he want to show I am a little girl. He is a regular namazi but his language is bad. My husband is good man. Can you tell me any dua so that my brother in-law can keep quite about me. I am upset and because of him I often do not take my meals.

Answer

Observe purda with your brother in-law. Insha Allah there won't be any problems thereafter. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/419

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
