Reading: My cousin got married two years ago. She lived with us for a couple of months, then spent a few months at her parents’ place. We tried to convince her to return, but she refused, demanding separate living arrangements. We filed for conjugal rights, but they countered with false claims of harassment and dowry. They even went to the women’s commission, but they’re not helping. Now, she wants all the jewelry (which she took) and Rs. 7 lakh for wedding expenses. We’re at our wit’s end, what can we do?

You can file a counter-petition to address the false allegations, seek a stay on the divorce proceedings, and defend against the jewelry and expenses claims. You may also seek to get the marriage annulled if the allegations against your cousin are proven false. A lawyer can provide legal guidance and representation to navigate this complex situation.
