My fiancé, a Hindu Brahmin, and I are both deeply in love. We are both professionals, him 30 and me 26, and have told our families about our wish to marry. However, our families are opposed due to our different religions and societal pressures. We don’t want to elope but want their blessings. My family is threatening harm to my fiancé if we go against their wishes. I believe they wouldn’t actually do anything, but I’m terrified and want to protect him. Is there a way to ensure his safety while we try to convince our families?

Indian law protects individuals from threats of harm and coercion. You can file a complaint with the police, detailing the threats and seeking protection under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. This will provide legal recourse and potentially deter your family from harming your fiancé.

Hello, I recently bought a bottle of scotch (750ml) in Karnataka and was driving to Tamil Nadu. I was not intoxicated while driving, but a police officer stopped me at the border and took my driving license. He said I need to appear in court to get it back after paying a fine. I’ve already paid INR 3,000 and been released on bail. I work at a software company in Bangalore and my company is applying for a US visa for me. Will this incident impact the background check by the US embassy during visa stamping?

A homeowner in India discovered that a government-allotted house was being occupied by a driver. Despite lodging complaints with various authorities, including the State, District, and Mandal Legal Services, the driver continued to reside there. The driver presented forged government documents to the Mandal Legal Services Committee Judge, claiming the house was allotted to him. The Judge, instead of verifying the documents, requested the homeowner not to escalate the matter. Is the homeowner legally justified in approaching the High Court? Provide advice and relevant legal rulings or Acts.

During the arrest, officers found a bag with him containing 7 pan cards with different names but his photo, some driving licenses, and several debit cards. We are worried about his situation.

My consumer forum case summons was signed on a registered acknowledgement, but the company’s rubber stamp is missing.

My passport was impounded based on a court order citing a violation of the Passport Act. This happened even though the 498A case against me was dismissed in my favor, and there are no criminal charges pending. I believe my ex-father-in-law, a retired army officer, filed this complaint out of spite, using an old court order related to maintenance payments. These payments have been fully settled, and the case is now under revision. How can I challenge this passport seizure and ensure my travel plans are not disrupted?
