You can file a complaint with the police about the threats and abuse. You can also seek legal advice and file for protection under the Domestic Violence Act. Additionally, you can consider approaching a women’s rights organization for support and guidance.

My wife and I were living in a rented room near her parents’ house. We had a disagreement with her family, and a year ago, on 28th May, they came to our place while I was away and took her back with some wedding photos. I filed a police complaint, but they denied our marriage and told me to return to my home in Kanpur and avoid contacting my wife. When I tried to reach out to her, they filed another police complaint. I sent a legal notice through my lawyer on 22nd April to clear up the situation. What should I do now?

I’m a 24-year-old woman working in a big company. My parents are putting a lot of pressure on me, taking my salary and important documents. They even forced me to file a case against someone I loved. The police have been very harsh with me. If I disappear and am found, can I tell the police I don’t want to live with my parents anymore? Will they support me? If not, what should I do? I am Hindu.

My wife, who is Hindu, and I recently got married. Lately, she’s been going back to her parents’ house after small arguments, sometimes even being brought there by them. We were recently on a trip, and she left to go home. Now her parents are spreading rumors that I abandoned her in a strange city. They want us to live together again, and she’s threatening suicide if we don’t. I’m worried about false accusations. Would a written commitment from her parents help?

My parents are struggling financially and my father is currently hospitalized. After my marriage, I moved out, leaving my younger brother to care for them. He has been pressuring them to sign blank papers, potentially to gain control of our family property. His future wife seems to be encouraging this behaviour. I want to protect my parents and ensure their well-being in their old age, but I’m concerned about my brother’s intentions. I’m worried he might take advantage of their vulnerability. I need advice on how to safeguard their interests and ensure their property remains secure.

My sister, who married the man she loved six months ago, has left home. She left a letter saying she was forced into the marriage, even though everyone knows it was a love match. She wrote hurtful things about both our families. Now she won’t even consider a divorce. I know everything in the letter is untrue, and I spent a lot on the wedding. Can I sue her for defamation to clear her false accusations? The marriage was registered under the Hindu Marriage Act.
