I’ve been seeing this guy for a while now, but he hasn’t found his footing yet. He says he’ll marry me once he’s settled and ready to commit, even promising to write it down on stamp paper. But what if he changes his mind later? Would that stamp paper be enough to take legal action? Is there another way to ensure he’ll marry me once he’s settled?

A promise to marry on stamp paper, while a gesture of intent, is not legally binding under Indian law. You cannot take legal action based solely on this. The best way to secure your future is through a formal engagement or marriage contract, which should be drafted and signed by both parties with the presence of witnesses.

My ex-boyfriend and I broke up. He wanted to reconcile, but unfortunately, he passed away last week after struggling with some bad habits. We were neighbors, and his family keeps calling, blaming, and threatening me, saying I’m responsible for his death. They’re even threatening to file a police complaint. I’m really scared and depressed. We’re staying at my aunt’s place for now. What can I do to stop this? Could they actually file a case against me?

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.

My fiancé is a Christian from Kerala, and I’m a Hindu from Chennai. We’re both in our mid-twenties and want to get married, but my parents are strongly opposed.

My fiancé also has a past criminal case that’s being resolved, but it’s not yet completely cleared. Could this past case be used against us? I’m worried about any potential legal obstacles my dad’s lawyer might use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My court marriage in April 2016 hasn’t worked out. I’m unhappy and want to move on, but not with a formal divorce. Is it possible to end this marriage without going through the legal process and start a new life with someone else? Are there records kept for court marriages that could help with this? And if I do remarry, can I apply for a marriage certificate later?
