Under Indian law, making false accusations is a crime. You can approach the police to file a complaint against your sister-in-law for threatening you with a false dowry case. You should also gather evidence of the threats and consult a lawyer to explore legal options for protecting yourself.

When do two cities in different states become one? Could Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR be considered a single city, given their close proximity and shared development?

My two uncles and I have been partners in a business since 2004, with a profit sharing ratio of 15:15:70. The agreement also outlined a fixed annual remuneration of ₹500 for me and my uncle, and ₹2,000 for the other uncle, along with a 12% interest on capital. Due to our close family bond, my uncle and I haven’t claimed any profit or remuneration since the start. However, a dispute has arisen, and my uncle has started a similar business in his wife’s name as a proprietorship in 2010, despite the partnership agreement stating that no partner can start a similar business without the consent of others. We are now looking to dissolve the partnership. Can we claim our accumulated remuneration, profit share, interest on capital, and the capital contribution with interest? Also, given the breach of the agreement, can we claim a share of the profits from the proprietorship? The partnership is unregistered. What legal steps should I take to ensure our rights are protected, including potentially stopping his business and freezing his bank accounts?

I’m a 22-year-old woman from India. Since I was a little girl, my parents have constantly put me under immense emotional pressure. It’s been a heavy burden on my mind, making me feel deeply depressed. They’ve even threatened me with violence, saying they would harm me. This constant torment has taken a toll, and I’ve even attempted suicide. I’m currently living in Chandigarh, pursuing a graduate degree and looking for a government job. My parents, however, are only giving me financial support to keep me away from private jobs and now they’re forcing me to come back home and get married. They constantly call and abuse me. I’m at my wit’s end, struggling with daily depression and feeling trapped.
