My husband, who is wealthy, left me for someone else. We have a 2-year-old son. I filed a case against him, and now he wants to settle. He’s offering alimony, but in return, he wants me to sign away my and our son’s rights to his inherited property. Is there a way for my son and me to claim a share of his inherited wealth under Indian law?

Under Indian law, you and your son have rights to a share of your husband’s inherited property. While you can agree to alimony in a settlement, you cannot be forced to relinquish your rights to inherited property. Your son, as a legal heir, also has an inherent right to inherit his father’s property.

My husband filed for divorce last month claiming I’m having an affair. He says he receives calls from other men at night and suspects I had an affair even before we married in July 2013. We were only together for a couple of months before I moved back to my mom’s for my engineering studies. Now he wants a divorce based on these calls. I admit I received calls from friends during exams, but they were just friends. Will the court grant a divorce based solely on phone calls?
