Some family drama ages like fine wine. Others age like unrefrigerated shrimp salad. This particular situation has moved from the raw stench of “Oh God, are you really going to marry a man who immediately folds for his parents” to the more manageable aroma of “Yes, I married him, but now there is counseling involved and the wallets are locked.”

The father’s garage-whispered plan to collect the rest after the wedding has fallen silent. The couple suspects he knows he was wrong, or at least fears public exposure for being the kind of rich man who still poaches from his kid. The dangerous family dog is now on the permanent no-contact list. The mother-in-law even sent a written apology, which in certain families is rarer than an unclaimed dollar bill.
So the marriage happened. The money pipeline is closed. The boundaries are posted. Now we wait to see if the in-laws treat them like family, or like an underperforming ATM with a bad attitude
UPDATE: Woman marries fiancé despite his wealthy parents taking $15k from his inheritance, stops them from getting more, and sets strict boundaries: ‘I told him he needs to stand up for himself’
The first act of this fairytale was a masterclass in parental entitlement funded by a passed-on woman's affection. The wealthy parents took the aunt's will, ignored the numbers, and decided fairness meant getting exactly what the aunt mentioned in a casual conversation years earlier, even if the actual will said otherwise. They manipulated, they guilted, and they collected fifteen thousand they will never return. The sequel? A husband who is now learning that "keeping the peace" is often just code for "letting other people rob you with a smile." Counseling has been enlisted. Emotional manipulation and enmeshment are on the syllabus. The rest of the inheritance has been declared a no-go zone.
