A distraught bride-to-be took shared the insane ask demanded by her mother-in-law, who is insisting she sign a contract to confirm she will only have one child or else forgo her wedding.

The US-based woman shared the ordeal on Reddit, to a community designated for rants about ‘toxic mother-in-laws’. The post detailed how the bride-to-be’s mother-in-law has ‘suddenly’ presented the couple with the contract.

The viral post has attracted hundreds of comments from concerned users who have told the bride to refuse to sign it, even if it risks the mother-in-law pulling the funding for the lavish wedding which she insisted on throwing in the first place.

The bride, who said her own parents are deceased, clarified that her mother-in-law is usually ‘generous’, ‘gracious’ and ‘considerate’. She also noted that the contract is ‘out of character’ for her prospective in-law.

However, the bride’s lengthy Reddit post implies the opposite and rings some warning bells.

‘My fiancé’s mother has been generous enough to foot the bill for the entire wedding since she’s mainly the one who wanted it to be a large affair anyway. I’ve let her have free reigns with the planning and she’s allowed to invite whoever she wants as I don’t have that many family members, and fiancé keeps his friend circle very small,’ she began.
