I got married in 2008, at the age of 18, in an Arya Samaj ceremony. The marriage was registered in court, but we never lived together, and my parents are unaware of it. Unfortunately, he has been physically abusive and harassing me, and I want to end this marriage. I am Hindu, and he refuses to grant a divorce. How can I get a divorce without informing our families and causing any unnecessary trouble? I want to do this discreetly and peacefully. Thank you.

In India, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and harassment. As your marriage is registered, you can seek a divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act. The court proceedings will be confidential, and you can choose to have your legal representation handle all communication with your husband.

My housing society in Mumbai has four blocks, two of which are already occupied with around 1,500 flats. The remaining two blocks are under construction. My block has 11 buildings, each forming a separate society with roughly 60 flats. The plan is to create a larger association for all these societies to manage the clubhouse, gym, park, and common areas. I purchased a 1,000 square foot apartment with a parking spot. This parking is located on the podium level, which also houses the clubhouse and amenities. The location and number of my parking spot are clearly marked in the registered agreement. However, the builder is still managing the podium and the conveyance deed hasn’t been issued yet. The entire project, consisting of all four blocks, is under one approved plan and is expected to be completed in 6-7 years. Many flat owners didn’t purchase parking and are now claiming that all parking spots will be reallocated. Is this possible? Can my parking be taken away even though I paid for it?
