After three years of marriage, my in-laws are asking me to move out and pay rent, even though my husband promised they’d let me stay. He now denies everything he said, and doesn’t even pay for our expenses or visit me. I quit my job after marriage to be a homemaker, and have supported myself with my savings. Now I’ve found a job, but it pays little, and they’re trying to exploit the situation, even pressuring my husband to abandon me. He refuses to contribute to our daughter’s school fees or even give me money for daily needs. Can they legally force me out of their home, and is there any way to protect myself?

Indian law does not allow your in-laws to legally force you out of their home, especially without your husband’s consent and without proper notice. You have legal rights as a wife and mother, including rights to maintenance from your husband and a share in marital property. You should consult a lawyer to understand your specific rights and explore options like filing for maintenance and seeking a legal separation or divorce, if necessary.

I’ve been living with my in-laws for the past four months. They’re saying they’ll only keep me if I give them my salary. My husband doesn’t work and they claim I’ll get nothing even if I file for divorce because all the property is in my father-in-law’s name. I’m disabled, so is there any chance my daughter and I have a share in the property? What should I do?

My father, a retired pensioner, and I are part of a seven-member family from Rajahmundry. My mother, unfortunately, passed away recently, leaving behind a will written by a notary. She bequeathed her three houses to my divorced sister, leaving the rest of us with nothing. This decision was made without my father’s or my consent. The will was witnessed by my maternal uncle and aunt. My sisters are refusing to share a copy of the will or provide any details, leaving me feeling cheated. My father supports the will, but I believe we all deserve equal shares, including my deceased sister’s portion. I’m seeking legal advice on how to proceed in this difficult situation.

My wife’s brother married in June 2016. Sadly, she took her own life four months later, leaving a note mentioning dowry demands. The note named her in-laws, including his parents and sisters. The police immediately filed a case against them, including me, as I was present at the wedding. I’m currently in Saudi Arabia and unable to return. My wife’s family is also facing charges. Despite securing bail, my wife’s brother remains in jail, along with his parents and one sister. The police are now pressuring my wife to surrender me for bail. I am seeking advice on how to proceed in this situation.

Previous Article My father gifted his property (bought in 1976) to my grandmother (my mother’s mother) in 1987. Then, my grandmother gave my mother the authority to sell the property in 2000. My mother is the sole inheritor and we’ve always paid taxes, bills, and maintained the property, even collecting rent. Now, my mother wishes to sell it. What’s the quickest and most straightforward way to proceed? Some suggest getting a new legal heirship certificate (ration card is unavailable), while others advise mutation, probate of will, or legal administration. I’m confused. We have a potential buyer who needs documents for legal verification.
