Under Indian law, an adopted son acquires the status of a biological son in the adoptive family. He can inherit property from his adoptive mother but not from his biological mother unless specifically named in her will.

I’m considering divorce after five years of marriage. My husband has never taken responsibility for me or our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. We want to go for a mutual divorce, but I want to make sure he has no rights over our child after the separation. He’s never bothered to provide for our daughter’s basic needs like food, clothes, or shelter. I don’t want him to see her, as he’s irresponsible and often drinks. We’ve moved out of our rented house, and I’m living with my parents. Can you advise me on how to ensure child custody?

Previous Article I’ve been serving in a government department for 15 years, but recently discovered that I was incorrectly assigned to a state cadre. I should have been placed in my home cadre. If I file a case with the CAT now, is there a risk it’ll be dismissed due to the delay? The mistake was made by the central ministry, who should have followed specific rules and rosters. I wasn’t aware of the error until recently. Would the court understand my situation and consider my delayed action?
Next Article My spouse and I are going through a contested divorce. Our lawyer mentioned a new High Court law that could wrap up the case within 3 years. Is this accurate?
