I got married in September 2009 and have a five-month-old baby boy. Sadly, I’ve been facing immense mental pressure from my husband and mother-in-law. After my baby’s birth, I went to my mother’s home for a few weeks, and since then, they’ve been constantly picking fights with me. It’s gotten so bad that I’m thinking about divorce, but I’m worried about losing custody of my child. I need to keep my baby. How can I fight back? What legal steps should I take?

You can file a petition for divorce under the grounds of cruelty and seek custody of your child. The court will consider the child’s best interests, including your ability to provide care and stability, when deciding custody arrangements. You should consult with a lawyer to discuss your specific situation and legal options.

Previous Article I booked a flat in Raheja Developers’ “Krishan Housing Scheme” under Haryana’s Affordable Housing Policy 2013. I cancelled the booking in November 2016, but Raheja Developers are refusing to refund my money. They say they’ll only refund after selling my unit and receiving payment from the new buyer. This could take 10 months, and they won’t pay any interest for the delay, even though they charge a 15% interest for late payments. This doesn’t seem fair. What should I do? Can I get help through a legal notice or a consumer forum case?
