The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, grants equal coparcenary rights to daughters in ancestral property, including married daughters. A married sister has the same rights as an unmarried sister or brother to inherit and divide ancestral land.

As a 72-year-old widow, I’ve been living with my daughter since 2000, even after her marriage in 2007. My two sons, aged 52 and 47, are well-established but refuse to support me financially or offer me a place to stay. My daughter, despite her own financial struggles, has been a pillar of support, but now I need help. I am seeking maintenance from my sons, as I have no home or property of my own.

My wife and I have been married for 10 years, and we have two wonderful children. Lately, we’ve been struggling to connect, and I’ve found solace in talking to an old friend. We talk daily on the phone and meet twice a month. She’s unable to marry due to a health condition. My wife has become very upset and is threatening to file a police complaint if I don’t stop this. Can she really dictate every aspect of my life and force me to live according to her demands?

My brother and his wife have been living separately for the past half a year. Now, she has filed a dowry harassment case (498A) against my brother, my wife, my mother, and me. We are confused because we live separately from them. How can we be accused of harassment when we don’t even live together? My brother has also filed a complaint against her at the local police station. She doesn’t seem to be under his control, and often leaves to stay with her parents without informing him. When he asks her to return, she threatens him with the 498A case. Eventually, she filed the case. Additionally, my brother has recently undergone medical tests, and we know she has a health condition that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Her treatment will take a year. Could this be grounds for divorce? We are at a loss as to how the police are pursuing this case against us when we live separately. Please guide us on how to proceed.

Next Article We’re building our house in Ludhiana and our neighbor has filed a case against us, getting a stay order on construction based on untrue claims. They say we encroached on public land (which is completely false and the municipality will verify), that we had a fight (never happened, no police report), and that we damaged a pole (there isn’t even one there!). We have a court hearing on the 18th to dismiss the stay order. If it’s not lifted, what options do we have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
