My fiancé, whom I met on a marriage website, refuses to pay half the engagement expenses I covered and a loan of ₹3 lakhs I gave him. He’s threatening to call off the wedding if I ask for my money back. Is there any legal recourse to protect me and can I file a case against him for cheating?

Under Indian law, you can pursue legal recourse to recover the money spent on engagement expenses and the loan you provided. This can be done through a civil suit for recovery of money or a criminal complaint for cheating, depending on the circumstances and evidence you possess.

My family and I have been living peacefully in our home for the past 12 years. We’ve never had any issues with anyone in our neighborhood or outside. However, I’ve noticed some people from outside are trying to pry into our personal lives. Even some neighbors have told me about it. I don’t want to name them because they could also face trouble. Can you advise me on how to write a formal letter to the police so they’re aware of this situation? I want to make sure they take action if these individuals threaten our safety. I don’t want my name disclosed, just the letter. If anything happens, they should be able to catch the culprits.

I’m seeking guidance on how to secure my rightful share: a single room from my allotted four-room portion, control over 5-6 bighas of land, proper room repairs, and personal safety during my visits. What legal options are available to me?
