I got married in March 2015, but within a few months, my husband and his family started pressuring me to follow their every command. They constantly put me through emotional distress. Since January 2016, I’ve been living with my parents, and my husband hasn’t contacted me once. Recently, I reached out to him, requesting some of my clothes and identification documents, but he refused and threatened to divorce me. He also said he wouldn’t return my educational certificates. I want to file for Stridhan. Can you guide me on who can help and what the legal process involves?

You can seek legal assistance from a lawyer specializing in family law. Based on your situation, you can file a case for restitution of conjugal rights, seek a protective order against your husband’s threats, and file for the recovery of your stridhan and other belongings. The legal process involves filing a petition in the appropriate court, presenting evidence, and arguing your case before the judge.

But he left me and didn’t take our four-year-old son with him. What should I do now?

Previous Article Dear Legal Experts, My family and I are facing a criminal case under sections 498 and 114 based on rumors and some public records. There’s no strong evidence against us. Can I use section 91 of the Cr.PC to get the source of this information on affidavit? I’ve been told that this section only applies to producing documents and summoning witnesses. But isn’t getting the source of information on affidavit also a form of document in their possession? Please guide me.
Next Article I’ve been selected for the ADI post in the MSME department of the West Bengal government by the WB PSC. However, just before my appointment, three unsuccessful candidates filed a case at the SAT challenging the selection panel. The court issued an order stopping the appointment of one candidate without even hearing the successful candidates. While there was no bar to joining the other 25 candidates, the department’s delay has put our appointments on hold. Now, the unsuccessful candidates have submitted a new application (MA) against some of the successful candidates without amending their original petition, and the judge has issued an interim order affecting the entire panel. This leaves us, the 18 newly added parties, in a difficult situation. We have already lost out on an increment due to the delay. Our lawyer is working with us, but we are considering getting a new lawyer. Is there a process for replacing our current lawyer?
