Salam,
I’m a 30-year-old woman with a 2-year-old child and inshallah 1 on the way. I’ve been married for almost 3 years now and living with my in-laws.
My husband worked in the first year and then stopped working due to a lack of work from his employers. He never bothered and tried to look for work after that. My father-in-law sold his business and gambled most of the money. So they were also left with no income.
