We got married in April 2012, a love match, but only told our families about it recently. They haven’t approved and are demanding a divorce, which I refused. I sent a legal notice asking them to let my wife return, but they haven’t responded. I filed a case to bring her back. Now, what if they remarry her and move her away? How can I find her? Is there any legal way to know her whereabouts?

Under Indian law, your wife’s marriage to another person would be considered void as she is already legally married to you. You can seek legal recourse to locate her, including filing a habeas corpus petition to bring her back and preventing the illegal marriage from taking place.

I got married nine months ago, and my life has been a nightmare since. My husband drinks excessively, smokes, and has other bad habits that he hid from me and my family before our wedding. He’s also abusive, encouraged by his family who constantly demand dowry and provoke him to hit me. They even pressured him to get me to miscarry in my fifth month of pregnancy, as his sister is desperate for a child. I’m at my parents’ house now, pregnant and scared. What can I do?

Previous Article My son was engaged a year ago. The girl’s father asked for my bank account details and sent money as a token of good fortune for my son. He continued sending money after the engagement. However, we later realized there were cultural differences and the girl’s education qualifications (she holds a B.Ed degree) didn’t match what we expected. My son also dislikes her due to her behavior. His father now refuses to return the money and is threatening to file a dowry case and resort to local intimidation if the marriage doesn’t go ahead. Feeling pressured, I agreed to a wedding date of April 22nd, 2016. What should I do now?
