My daughter-in-law left home, locking the door, and didn’t answer any calls. We then received a call from the police informing us that she had filed a 498A case against my family. We went to their place with our relatives, spoke to them, and she withdrew the complaint. She agreed to live peacefully. Later, I asked her to sign an affidavit confirming nothing happened as she claimed. She refused and left. Some relatives who went to their home were threatened. This happened six months ago. Now, she’s again trying to file cases and harass us. She has a very aggressive nature, and our marriage is not working. What should I do now, as they are threatening our lives?

Based on your situation, you should consult a lawyer immediately. Filing a false 498A case is a serious offense and you can seek legal recourse against your daughter-in-law. Ensure you document all threats and harassment, as it strengthens your case. You may also consider seeking police protection if you feel threatened.

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.

Also, given the breach of the agreement, can we claim a share of the profits from the proprietorship? The partnership is unregistered.
