I’ve been married for 12 years and have a daughter who is 3 years old. My husband left me 3 years ago after years of abuse and violence. He continues to harass me with hateful emails. He recently found a picture of me with a friend and is now trying to paint me as a characterless woman. I’ve filed for divorce and need maintenance for my daughter. I do have feelings for my friend, but I’m not sure what to do. He has started sending money for my daughter, sometimes Rs 2000, sometimes Rs 4000, but he didn’t do this before. What should I do?

You can seek legal action against your husband for domestic violence, harassment, and defamation. The court can order maintenance for your daughter and you based on his income and ability to pay. You should consult a lawyer to discuss the specifics of your case and explore options for legal protection and financial support.

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?

We’ve been married since February 2014 and have a sweet little one who’s now nine months old. My wife keeps accusing me of having affairs, which is completely untrue. She doesn’t treat me or my mother with any respect, often using hurtful words. I’m at my wit’s end and feel divorce is the only way out. However, I don’t want to remarry, I just want to focus on raising our son. My only regret is that I used to drink a lot, which I’m ready to stop completely. But given her attitude, I’m not sure if we can salvage our relationship. We never formally registered our marriage, and her documents still have her father’s name. How can I go about getting a divorce while ensuring my son’s well-being?

Previous Article I retired from a public sector company (PSU) in June 2016. My gratuity, leave encashment, and pension commutation are withheld due to an ongoing vigilance case. This case involves a fraud where over 30 employees were affected due to account manipulation using stolen passwords. I received a letter from my former employer in September 2014, requesting clarification on a ₹95,000/- adjustment voucher I prepared. I provided the clarification within 10 days, explaining that the voucher was prepared following company guidelines and that I was not involved in any fraud or negligence. Despite this, I haven’t received any show cause notice or further communication. Upon my retirement, I was informed that my benefits were stopped due to the vigilance case, but I’m unaware of the specific allegations against me.
Next Article My family recently bought a 1200 square feet home in a village near Bangalore, financed through a home loan. It’s bordered by a road to the west, another house to the east, an empty plot to the south, and private land to the north. Now, the owners of that land are developing it, and they claim my home encroaches on their property by about 80 square feet. They’ve been threatening to demolish our compound wall. I’ve contacted the builder who sold me the house, but they insist there was no encroachment. I’m very worried. What legal steps should I take to protect my family and our home?
