Indian law recognizes domestic violence as a serious issue affecting both men and women. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, covers violence against husbands by wives, offering legal protection and remedies.

We got married in June 2015, an arranged match, but haven’t started living together. My in-laws aren’t allowing us to be together. My husband only visited me once after the court marriage, for a short time with his mother present. Every phone call requires me to speak to her first before I can talk to my husband. Even during our conversations, she sits there listening. She isn’t treating my parents well either, and my husband is completely under her control. How can I begin a new life with him?

My marriage ended tragically just two years ago. My wife left after only a fortnight, accusing my parents of demanding dowry, a claim completely untrue. Since then, she’s refused to return and, with her family, has been harassing and publicly insulting my parents and younger siblings, threatening to falsely accuse us of dowry-related crimes. They constantly cite the law as favoring women and threaten to arrest our entire family. I filed for divorce a few days ago. What steps can I take to protect my family from false accusations under Section 498A or any other charges they might plan? The entire family is deeply distressed by the situation.

I’m getting married soon and have some concerns about my fiancée’s honesty. Could a lie detector test help me clear these doubts? If so, how do I go about getting one done in Delhi?

I’m facing a tough situation in my marriage. My husband and I disagree on living separately from his brother and sister-in-law. They constantly interfere in our lives and seem determined to break our marriage. He also hasn’t opened a joint account with me, instead relying on his brother for financial management. I feel he’s under their influence and not taking his responsibilities as a husband seriously. Can I take legal action to separate from them and protect my own interests?

If my husband and I decide to separate, what percentage of his income is fair for him to contribute towards my and our 7-year-old son’s expenses? I am currently a homemaker.

Previous Article We took an education loan from SBI a year ago for ₹4 lakhs. We’ve been struggling financially and couldn’t repay the loan. We did manage to pay ₹30,000 in interest towards the loan. However, without any notice, SBI deducted ₹50,000 directly from our personal savings account, which is not connected to the education loan account. How can this happen? Is there any legal recourse for us to get this amount back?
