My wife and her father have been constantly harassing me and my family in Delhi. My wife has even physically hurt my mother a few times. We have major differences, and now they’re threatening to file false dowry and domestic violence cases against me. My father-in-law is very greedy and will stop at nothing to get money from me. I want to end this relationship, but we have a five-year-old child. We’re a Sikh family, and I need help protecting myself and taking action against my wife and her father. Can someone advise me on what I can do?

In India, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and harassment. Consult a lawyer to file a divorce petition and seek custody of your child. You should also file a police complaint against your wife and father-in-law for physical assault and intimidation.

Previous Article I bought a house with a super area of 1600 sq ft, but the flat I received has a built-up area of only 950 sq ft. A neighbor who did the registry told me that only the built-up area was mentioned in the documents. I’ve taken possession and moved in, but I haven’t registered the property yet. The builder took 40% of my money for the super area, but never mentioned it in any document. Even the allotment letter only showed the super area. Can I file a case against the builder and get my money back for the missing 650 sq ft?
