I’m a student in Canada, but my family is in India. My 22-year-old brother has a disability, and my younger brother is 14. My father has always been mentally abusive, but it’s gotten worse lately. He’s constantly spying on my mother and making life difficult for my brothers. I’m worried sick about them, especially since he drinks heavily and has mental health issues. Can you please help me find resources or advice to support my family in India?

You can contact the National Commission for Women (NCW) in India, which handles complaints of domestic violence and abuse. Additionally, you can reach out to a local NGO or lawyer in India specializing in family law and mental health issues for guidance and support.

We had an Arya Samaj wedding, but then agreed to follow our parents’ wishes and returned home. Now, my wife says she can’t come back with me without her parents’ permission. They won’t allow us to talk privately and are even saying she wants a divorce. Is there any way to get a divorce without a strong reason if I want to stay with her? Could they file a case against my parents since she hasn’t visited my home even once after the wedding?

I’ve been in a relationship for six years, but I’m still completing my studies in Gurgaon. We belong to the same caste, but the girl’s family is pressuring her for dowry. She wants to marry me, and I want to marry her, but I want to be settled first. We told our families about the relationship, and now the girl’s family is making her life difficult. Her mother constantly torments her, won’t let her study, and creates a tense environment at home. What can we do? I’m ready to marry her once I’m settled, but they’re pushing for a wedding now.

I’ve been married for almost 7 years, and my husband and his parents have been emotionally cruel to me. This has led to many arguments, and recently it’s escalated with physical threats. He wants a mutual divorce, but also threatens to not give me any support even though he earns well and I just started a contract job. We have a 3-year-old daughter. Should I agree to his demands, or file a case against him?

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a decade. Her family has been pushing for marriage since the beginning, and I’ve always said I’d marry her. But now, I’m not sure about getting married. I’m worried about the potential for legal action if I break it off. She’s very sensitive, and I’m afraid she might react badly, even threaten suicide or legal action. How can I tell her family I’m not interested in marriage without risking this kind of drama? I live abroad, and she’s in India, making things even more complicated. What should I do?

My sister, married in 2005 after a four-year relationship, faced domestic abuse. Tragically, she took her own life in 2010, naming her husband and his family in a suicide note. We chose not to pursue legal action then, fearing the impact on her young daughter. In the note, she wished her daughter to be raised by her father. The child has been living with us since. Now, after three years, her father has taken the child without our knowledge. We regret not taking action earlier. Can we now use the suicide note to file a case against him and his family?
