It’s been a year and two months since we got married. My husband is excessively focused on money, even avoiding taxes. He restricts my spending, even on food, to save money. He’s even made me work as a waiter in a restaurant despite my family’s comfortable background. I need advice on how to manage our finances as I believe gaining control over our money is the only way he’ll listen to me.

Indian law recognizes your right to financial independence and fair treatment within the marriage. Your husband’s extreme focus on money and restriction of your basic needs is concerning. Seeking legal advice from a family lawyer is strongly recommended to understand your rights and options for managing finances and addressing this situation.

My wife and I were married in 2002. I live with her and our son in Sira town, Karnataka. In 2004, a woman filed a maintenance case claiming she married me that year and had a child in 2005. The Magistrate Court ordered me to pay Rs. 2,000 to the mother and Rs. 2,000 to the child. I appealed this order to the District Court, which found no proof of marriage based on a previous case filed by the woman in 2011. The District Court set aside the Magistrate Court’s order and asked them to re-examine the case, including paternity of the child. Now, the Magistrate Court is ordering me to undergo a DNA test to prove paternity. The woman earns Rs. 15,000 from her salary. What are my legal options in this situation?

My father, the eldest son in a family of three brothers and four sisters, passed away. His will, and that of our grandfather, left us 40% of a commercial complex he built. My uncle, who received 30%, has been managing the property and sending us inconsistent rent payments. We’ve also learned he leased the first floor without our knowledge. I’m now old enough to understand the situation and need help resolving this complex inheritance issue.

My husband and I are separated for six months now, and I’m living with my parents and kids in Indore. I filed a case for maintenance and domestic violence, but he didn’t show up in court. I’m not working and my parents are struggling to support us. What are my options for getting maintenance quickly?

I recently got married under the Hindu Marriage Act, but things haven’t been easy at my in-laws’ home. My husband is the youngest of three brothers, and his mother is no longer alive. We live on the middle floor of a three-story house, with his elder brothers and their families on the floors above and below. Currently, his eldest sister-in-law prepares our meals, but I’d like to cook for myself and my husband. I believe it’s my duty as a wife to provide for my family. Our floor has a kitchen, and I’m ready to set it up. I asked my husband to help me, but he flatly refused. I’m feeling very worried now.

Is there a way I can manage the family finances better, so I can comfortably cover household expenses, without having to ask my husband directly for every rupee?
