We had a simple court marriage with someone from the same caste in Uttar Pradesh. We returned home that evening and have been living separately since. We’ve told our families about an arranged marriage, but they’ve refused. Now, we want to live together. How can we do this without our parents or the police interfering? Also, if we were to file a petition against our families, would it be a disadvantage that we are living apart after the marriage? Could the petition be cancelled or used against us?

Under Indian law, a valid marriage is legally recognized regardless of parental consent. Living together after the marriage is your right. However, separating after the marriage may raise questions about the genuineness of the marriage, which could impact a petition against your families. You should seek legal counsel to understand your rights and options for navigating this situation.

Previous Article I worked for a Mumbai-based securities firm in Chennai. My notice period was 30 days, but I was only able to work for 20 due to my reporting manager’s delayed departure. My resignation date was postponed because of this, and HR didn’t mention any salary deductions during our phone call. However, they later deducted 10 days’ worth of salary, claiming it was company policy. My resignation was delayed because of a postponed meeting with my state head, but they haven’t addressed this issue. What can I do? The amount deducted is roughly 4500 rupees.
