Yes, you can have a church wedding even if you register your marriage under the Special Marriage Act. However, the church wedding will not be legally recognized in India as the legal marriage is the one registered under the Special Marriage Act.

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 grandfather inherited land and a house from his ancestors. After a family split, he received a portion of each. He has two sons, my father and my uncle. My mother, who had two sons, and my aunt, who had one son and three daughters, are no longer with us. My father and uncle remarried and had more children. After my father’s remarriage, he and my uncle began to neglect my brother and me. We lived with my grandfather for 15 years, but they have now accused us of taking all the property from him. This is untrue, as they each built homes for their second wives. Now they’re demanding a property division and my grandfather fears we’ll be left homeless. We’re struggling financially and need legal advice on our rights and options.

We are a Hindu family, and my grandmother passed away in 1980, followed by my grandfather in 2000. My father had four brothers and a sister, two of whom passed away without children. The family home was jointly owned by my father and his surviving brother. My father and his brother both live in another town, while I live on the ground floor and my aunt on the first floor. Can my aunt claim a share in the house?

My name is Ashwin and I’m looking for advice on convincing my family to accept my love marriage. While I’m not facing any resistance from my side, my boyfriend’s family is a bit hesitant. It’s not an impossible task, but we need some creative ideas to win them over. We’re both from Hindu backgrounds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been seeing this boy, but I know it’s not right. I want to end things, but he won’t let me go. He says he’ll tell my family and friends, threaten to hurt himself, and even spread rumors online if I leave. He keeps repeating this every time I try to break up. Can he force me to stay with him because of our past? I’m really stuck, what should I do? Is this a legal issue, or something the police would handle?
