Husband's Relatives Threaten Lawsuit Over Bedridden Wife

Relatives of a husband have threatened legal action against the wife's family after she became bedridden following childbirth, insisting he did not abandon her but simply has not visited. They have also stated, "How can she stay at her mother-in-law's house when she can't get up or do anything?"

On July 16, 2025, Ms. Sa, 28, from Buriram Province, became bedridden just 24 hours after undergoing a cesarean section at a hospital. She has now been bedridden for 10 months in severe condition.

Her condition remains critical: she requires a breathing machine and a tracheostomy, cannot speak, cannot move her limbs, and shows no response to any stimuli—she cannot nod, shake her head, or smile. She can only blink her eyes.

Her aunt Lamphu, 50, and her mother Somapon, 53, who care for her, have disclosed her full medical condition. When asked about her husband, they revealed he has not visited since November 23, 2024, and has not called to inquire about her.

Recently, Lamphu has been contacted by multiple relatives of the husband's family via Facebook, threatening to sue whoever reported that "the husband abandoned her," claiming it is untrue and demanding a retraction or they will file suit.

Lamphu recounted that on the evening of July 19, a relative of the husband called to demand she correct the story claiming "the husband abandoned her." She responded that she never said he abandoned her, only that he has not visited and has not called in 10 months.

The husband's relatives then verbally attacked her again, accusing her of damaging their reputation, and said, "How can she stay at her mother-in-law's house when she can't get up or do anything?" Lamphu expressed feeling bewildered and unsure how to respond, saying she was only stating the facts.
