In India, filing false charges is a serious offense. You can seek legal advice to understand your rights and potential defenses. Additionally, consider documenting all communication attempts and any evidence that contradicts the potential false accusations.

My sister got married five months ago in an Arya Samaj temple in Noida. We registered the marriage in Ghaziabad, but cancelled it just two weeks later. She never lived with her husband. Now, his family is constantly harassing us and demanding money to annul the marriage. They are from Agra, and we are worried. Can we legally annul this marriage? What is the process, and how long will it take? Should we involve the police? Please advise.

My husband and I got married in May 2012, and our baby boy is just a month old. I’m a government employee currently on maternity leave. Since the baby’s arrival, my mother-in-law has been making my life difficult. She constantly finds fault with me and manipulates my husband against me. He, unfortunately, blindly follows her, believing her lies and creating unnecessary fights. She even tells him, right in front of me, to divorce me and remarry! I’m feeling helpless, especially since I have a tiny baby to care for. Adding to my woes, my husband and his mother constantly ask for money, despite my contribution to the family income. My husband even demands my entire salary without any accountability. For the last two weeks, I’ve been staying with my parents for peace of mind. If they decide to file for divorce, what legal options do I have? I don’t want to initiate divorce, but their constant threats and pressure are terrifying. They’ve even said I’ll lose my son and get nothing in a divorce. I’m incredibly scared and mentally exhausted. How can I protect myself and my child in this situation?

My husband left Malaysia in December 2011 and hasn’t been in contact since. I’m in Singapore on a work visa and have two young children in boarding school in India. I’m worried about them as I can’t bring them to Singapore during school breaks because my son’s passport needs to be renewed. The passport office requires a court order from a First Class Judicial Magistrate in Delhi confirming I’m a single parent and my husband is missing. I’d be grateful for any legal assistance to get this order so I can travel with my children.

My family forced me into marriage in 2012. I tried to stop it, but they pressured me and made me scared. I felt so helpless that I just went through with the wedding. Last year, I left everything and ran away, but fear brought me back. I begged everyone to help me get out of this marriage, but the police threatened me to stay. My wife has their support, and I don’t have any proof of the forced marriage. She won’t agree to a divorce, and she’s still living with me. What can I do?

My husband and I were married for just two months, but had to separate after just a couple of weeks because of physical and emotional abuse. We both want to end the marriage. Do we need to wait a year before we can file for divorce by mutual consent?
