In any other family than mine, my right is being ignored.
In my family my rights are being ignored at a very high level, more than in all families.
If not how could I change number 1 to be like number 2 exactly.

They do not mean the same thing. Currently #1 means, "In any other family except mine, my rights are being ignored." In other words, that only your own family pays attention to your rights. (Note that "rights" are plural, and therefore you use "are" with them, not "is.")
To make #1 work, you could say, "My family ignores my rights more than any other family I've heard of."

-Thank you, but what about a more literary style like : In not ( Or in no ) any other family than mine, my rights would be ignored.– user5036Commented Feb 2, 2015 at 13:01

Unfortunately, that's not literary, because it's not grammatical as written ("In not/no any other" is not right), though it's getting closer. Flip it around: "My rights would be ignored in no other family besides mine" would work, but it's awkward. One fancy way might be "No family -- save mine -- would so ignore my rights." (Where "save" is used as "besides" or "except.") Remember that "literary" shouldn't mean "awkward," even if it is complicated sometimes.– A.BethCommented Feb 2, 2015 at 16:58

I can't work out your meaning. Do you mean "my family ignores my rights. no other family would do that"?– MMacDCommented Feb 2, 2017 at 17:01
