My husband and in-laws put pressure on me to return to my parents in India after I lost my job in the US. Despite their financial difficulties, my parents urged me to stay. I asked my mother to secure a fixed deposit for the money I had in India, including my severance pay, and my husband knew about this. He recently called my father demanding that money and abused him. I returned to India on May 19th and we’ve decided to divorce. What legal steps can I take to protect myself from their financial exploitation, which has ruined my career and life?

You can file a police complaint against your husband and in-laws for harassment and financial exploitation. You can also seek legal advice regarding your severance pay and the fixed deposit, as your husband’s actions suggest an attempt to misappropriate those funds. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer specializing in family law and financial matters for the most relevant and effective legal steps.

As we understand, since December 2009, section 5 of the Act has been amended, making epilepsy no longer a valid ground for divorce. Furthermore, the non-disclosure of such a condition doesn’t seem to justify a divorce under any other section of the Act. We’d appreciate a quick response on this matter.

Previous Article We bought a flat in Nalasopara West in 2012 using a home loan. We needed to move in quickly due to family issues and the previous owner agreed, but only after we made the initial payments. The loan took longer than expected, but eventually got approved. The previous owner did register the property, but the brokers involved didn’t complete the society transfer paperwork. When we signed our part and sent it to him, he demanded extra money, claiming the delay was our fault. There was no agreement for extra payment if the loan was delayed. The society won’t help either, saying we need the signed transfer papers. We’ve been fighting for justice for five years now. What can we do?
