My marriage in 1997 was blessed with a son in 1998. However, my husband left me in 1999 and I only discovered later that the divorce was fraudulent. He remarried in 2011 and has two children now. We were separated after just a few months. I’m still legally his wife, but he refuses to acknowledge me. My son is deeply hurt by his father’s rejection and is struggling emotionally. My son and I are being blocked from our rightful place in the family home. Can I take legal action to protect my rights and my son’s? How can we ensure his rightful share in the family property?

Yes, you can take legal action to challenge the fraudulent divorce and establish your legal marital status. You can also file for maintenance and seek your son’s rightful share in the family property through a partition suit. You should consult a lawyer to understand the specific procedures and legal options available to you.

My second marriage certificate shows a date of 22nd September 2010, but I divorced my first wife on 11th November 2010.

My husband secretly married another woman in 2009, even though we already had two children together. His family knows about this, but they’re not helping me.

Now, this other woman has two children of her own, and he still refuses to acknowledge her or his responsibility. He claims he’s innocent and demands proof. He constantly moves houses with her, leaving me and our children in limbo. I’m a B.Tech graduate but haven’t been able to find a job. He refuses to help financially, insisting on getting a government job. What can I do for my children and myself in this situation?

Previous Article Hi, I’m in Pune and my father recently passed away. He owned 3 acres of land in Osmanabad district, but he didn’t leave a will. Now, my mother and siblings want to transfer the land to ourselves, but the Tehsildar in Osmanabad is asking for a court certificate stating we are the legal heirs. I’m confused about a few things: 1. Is this court certificate really necessary? Would birth certificates be sufficient? 2. We hired a lawyer, and after the court hearing, he said we need to pay stamp duty on the land to get the certificate. I don’t understand which certificate he applied for or why stamp duty is required. 3. What kind of certificate do we need for transferring the land? Where can I get this certificate? I’ve heard there’s a certificate that doesn’t mention property details and can be used for other things like transferring utility bills. I’m feeling really frustrated with this whole process. Can you please help me understand?
