I was in a relationship with a girl from Delhi for four years, starting in January 2012 and ending in May 2016. We lived together for two and a half years during that time. We were planning our future together, but things changed. I felt she became overly demanding, and she insisted on not living with my family after marriage. I moved back to my hometown in March 2015 due to personal reasons. We continued talking over the phone until May 2016, but the long distance proved difficult and we stopped communicating. My concern is whether she could sue me for breach of promise to marry or file a false case against me. We ended our relationship amicably, but I’m worried about her possessive nature. I want to mention that she belongs to a Scheduled Caste, as I’m not sure if this impacts the situation. I appreciate any advice from legal experts.

While a woman can sue for breach of promise to marry under Indian law, your case seems unlikely to succeed as your relationship ended amicably and there is no evidence of a formal promise. As for false cases, being from a Scheduled Caste doesn’t automatically grant immunity from false allegations, but the law protects against harassment and malicious prosecution.

We, the four brothers, agreed to an equal share of the property, with each receiving 1200 sq ft in both cities. My siblings registered their shares in Chennai and Bengaluru in 2000 and 2010, respectively. However, I’m yet to receive my share. My mother, wife, and two sons are living on the property in Bengaluru, where a two-story house stands. Currently, I’m working in Uttar Pradesh and my siblings are threatening my family, claiming I have no rights to the property because I left Bengaluru for work. They’re even threatening my mother and harassing her to vacate the house. My siblings are also trying to manipulate her to create embarrassing situations in public, hoping to gain sympathy and force my family out. I am seeking legal guidance and support to reach an amicable settlement, resolving this family dispute and ensuring the safety and well-being of my family.

My father, 70 years old, lives with me and my family in our ancestral home. I’m 45 and unemployed, relying on past savings to support us. He sold the rest of our ancestral property 25 years ago, without our consent, and invested the money (now around 40 lakhs, including his provident fund and pension) in bank FDs, all in his name. I’ve been covering his expenses, from food and medicine to electricity and cable bills. I can’t afford it anymore and asked him to contribute, but he threatened to throw us out. Can I claim a share of these FDs?
