My cousin brother married a year and a half ago, but things haven’t been good. His wife wants a divorce and demands the return of the car, gifts, and money his father gave them. My uncle is a government employee earning around 8-9 lakhs annually. She claims they spent 50 lakhs on the wedding and 20 lakhs on her education. Can we approach the courts or Income Tax department to investigate the source of this money? My brother started taking antidepressants a month after the marriage – could we file a mental harassment case? He doesn’t want a divorce, they have no children, and he’s still studying for his postgraduate degree. What can he do?

Your cousin’s wife can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Regarding the financial claims, the court will consider the actual contributions made by both parties and the financial situation of your uncle. You cannot approach the Income Tax department based solely on this information, and a mental harassment case may be difficult to establish without sufficient evidence. Your cousin should seek legal counsel to understand his options and rights.

We tied the knot on April 27, 2015, but realized within a month that our paths were diverging. We decided to part ways amicably and registered our divorce with the sub-registrar’s office, paying the necessary stamp duty. Now, under Section 13B, which deals with mutual consent divorces, we need to file a joint petition. The court will then grant us a six to eighteen month period to revisit our decision and confirm our consent. Only after both of us reaffirm our desire to proceed with the divorce, will the court grant us a final decree.

My husband and I have been married for two years, in a traditional ceremony with our families’ blessings. However, we haven’t registered our marriage legally. It’s become clear that we’re not meant to be together anymore. I want to separate, but I’d rather avoid the lengthy divorce process. Is there a simpler, more affordable way to legally separate, perhaps with some agreed-upon terms? My husband seems to be on the same page, so it feels like we’re both looking for a clean break.

Previous Article My father built a two-story house on a portion of our family land in 2002. The land is primarily in my grandmother’s name. My uncle has been living there since then, making decisions without consulting anyone else. My father, being the elder brother, never wanted to upset him. He built the house honestly, using only a third of the land. Sadly, my father passed away recently, leaving us without any income. My uncle refuses to register the property in my mother’s name, despite our situation, and even physically assaulted my grandfather. What can we do?
Next Article I’ve been living in Australia for the past two decades, moving there when I was 32. Before that, I lived with my father in India. He’s now 81 and has divided his agricultural land among my brothers. For the last 20 years, I’ve been sending him money, which he saved and used to buy a 2-acre plot of land in Tamil Nadu this year (June 2016). He’s written a will stating that I, his eldest son, will inherit the land after he passes away. He’s also had a Power of Attorney drawn up for the property in my name. My question is, will I be able to inherit the land despite it being purchased recently in his name? What are the legal steps I need to take to inherit it? How can I get the title transferred to my name after his death? Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
