No, a Hindu boy and a Christian girl cannot get married under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, as it only allows marriages between two Christians. They can get married under the Special Marriage Act, which allows inter-religious marriages without conversion. They are free to practice their own religions after marriage.

My grandfather passed away in 1983, leaving behind some land as ancestral property. He had four sons and three daughters. All his sons together sold a part of the land in 1986 without giving any share to their sisters. The grandfather’s daughters filed a case in 1989 and received an equal share as their brothers. The sons then appealed to the district court, presenting their documents. The appellate court ruled in 2009 that the daughters were entitled to a 1/40 share (1/8 of their father’s 1/5 share). The daughters have now filed a second appeal in the Madras High Court. What is the actual share the daughters are entitled to? Can they claim a share in the already sold land?

My family and I are facing a major issue due to a plastic bag manufacturing factory built on land allotted for a handloom shed in our colony. We’ve already filed complaints with the State Pollution Board, Municipal Corporation, District Town Planner, Area Fire Brigade, and the District Commissioner’s grievance cell. However, the District Commissioner’s office dismissed our complaint, claiming the land was allocated for a “green industry” – a handloom shed. But the allotted shed was demolished, and the factory owner built his unit in the basement near our homes, claiming it’s a godown. The Pollution Control Board, after investigating, initiated sealing the factory, but due to political pressure, the action was halted. What steps can we take now to ensure the factory is shut down and our health is protected?

Next Article I got married in 2001. A few years later, in 2003, some issues arose between us leading to separation. When I tried to seek a divorce, my wife was unwilling to cooperate. Even after involving family members to help resolve the matter, she refused to reconcile. I sent her a notice seeking restoration of marital rights, but she ignored it. In 2007, I remarried without a divorce. Now, after almost 16 years, should I still pursue a divorce? Is it possible to get a divorce after such a long time? Please provide guidance.
