My wife finances

My wife’s finances are managed by her brother. Is this correct as she says she has good bonding. He has all her salary, stocks, crypto and other account and use it as per requirements. Do I need to intervene and take it to us?

Ask her to take control, or at least ask her to get you control too. That way at least you can observe for some time and see how well it is being operated. If it is being operated well, and it is in her name with just the password shared, you can still let it be like that for some time. Assuming it is new marriage, once she gets trust she can have it transferred to your control, or take control herself.

Most family relationships are ruined due to money related problems. It is better your wife starts controlling her finances on her own.

There is no bigger danger than having inlaws so close after marriage.

Not that one needs to keep them away, but initially at least for a few years until the wife gets fully integrated with the husband and his family, it is important to keep them away. It is decent for the bride's family themselves to keep away for some time. But stupid liberal nonsense, they won't.
