My husband and I had a love marriage in 1998 without our parents’ consent. His family never accepted our union, and I’ve faced constant difficulties with them since the beginning. They even kicked us out of their house. We have two children, and for the past seven years, my husband hasn’t worked and has been abusive towards me and the kids. He’s been away for a month now. I want to file for divorce but don’t have a marriage certificate, photos, or even an invitation. Can you guide me through this process?

In India, a marriage certificate is not mandatory to prove marriage. Your long cohabitation, children, and witnesses can establish your marriage. You can file for divorce under the grounds of cruelty and desertion. Consult a lawyer to gather evidence and proceed with the legal process.

Previous Article Dear Sir/Madam, I, Mrs. N. Suneetha, 52 years old, am writing to seek your kind attention to a land dispute I am facing. I purchased a plot of land measuring 35×40 in Madavara village in 1997, vide site no. 18, khata no. 173:01 and SA No. 65:08. This purchase was through a registered sale deed at the Basaveswara Nagar Sub-Registrar Office. Since then, I have diligently paid all taxes. However, in 2005, another individual, Mr. Subramani, also registered the same property with the original owner, despite an encumbrance certificate showing the land in my name. He now claims ownership and is obstructing my efforts to build a boundary wall to secure the property. He is also threatening me. I urge your intervention to ensure justice is served, as I purchased this land with my hard-earned money and have no other recourse.
Next Article I discovered online that a warrant was issued against me in 2014, but I never received any notice. Two police officers visited me yesterday and asked me to come to the police station. I have no clue about any bounced checks or the amount involved. What should I do?
