Yes, you can file a harassment case against your mother-in-law and sister-in-law under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, even without including your husband. The Act recognizes “domestic violence” as including harassment, and you can seek protection and legal redress against your in-laws.

My niece got married six months ago. She works in a multinational company and earns around Rs. 45,000 per month. Her parents gave dowry and gifts at the time of the wedding. The problem is with her husband, in-laws, and his siblings. She leaves early every morning for work and returns in the evening. She gives her entire salary to her father-in-law, but they haven’t provided any transportation or a housemaid. They insist she washes utensils and won’t even allow her an egg, claiming that my older niece-in-law handles all the household chores. My niece’s husband doesn’t stand up for her. He’s been quiet for three months. She wants to file for divorce and domestic violence. What are the grounds and process for filing such a case in India?

मैं एक कंस्ट्रक्शन कंपनी में साइट सुपरवाइज़र हूँ। मेरी शादी 17 साल की उम्र में हो गई थी और अब मैं 20 साल का हूँ। मेरी पत्नी से मेरा कभी तालमेल नहीं बना। पिछले एक साल से मैं अलग रह रहा हूँ। उनकी हरकतें मेरे और मेरे परिवार के साथ अच्छी नहीं हैं। हर दिन झगड़ा होता रहता है। अब मैं इस शादी को जारी नहीं रख सकता। मेरी एक बेटी भी है, इसलिए मैं उनके पास भी नहीं रह पाता। कृपया मुझे कुछ ऐसे हल बताएँ जिससे मुझे अपनी बेटी की कस्टडी मिल सके और मुझे तलाक मिल सके।

My arranged marriage, after a year and a half of courtship, turned sour quickly. My husband became distant within months and filed for separation on flimsy grounds, even kicking me out of our home. He doesn’t show up in court and refuses to reconcile. I desperately want to save our marriage – how can I move forward?

Is it possible to get a divorce after only two months of marriage in India? I’m facing a difficult situation where we don’t want to continue the marriage. Could you explain the process and necessary documents for getting a divorce? I’m looking for information on a divorce that isn’t by mutual consent.

My husband has filed for divorce in the family court, and I’m not ready to give up on our marriage. My lawyer suggests trying mediation. How long can mediation last? What happens if we can’t reach an agreement? Will the divorce be granted automatically if mediation fails? I understand that since I don’t want a divorce, it shouldn’t be granted just because mediation fails. We should still be able to go to court to resolve the matter.

Next Article I purchased land from a broker, trusting him completely. I paid 22 lakhs for it, without checking the details properly. Now, I want to sell it, but I’ve learned I was tricked. The land was actually worth only 7 lakhs at the time. Neither government nor private valuations match what I paid. The Patwari is also being difficult, demanding money and repeatedly measuring the land. It feels like a big scam.
