My elderly mother, 67 years old, lives in her own flat. Her son, who has his own flat, stays with her. He receives no support with food, medicine, etc. His wife sometimes uses abusive language and even threatens violence. The son demands his share of the mother’s property or refuses to leave. We’re worried about her safety and want to help. Can we legally remove them from the house? We are a Muslim family, and any urgent advice would be greatly appreciated.

Indian law doesn’t permit forceful eviction of family members from a property unless a court order is obtained. You can seek legal recourse by filing a complaint of harassment and abuse against the son and his wife, seeking a restraining order and possibly a legal declaration on the ownership of the property. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to navigate the legal process and protect your mother’s safety and rights.

We had an Arya Samaj wedding, but then agreed to follow our parents’ wishes and returned home. Now, my wife says she can’t come back with me without her parents’ permission. They won’t allow us to talk privately and are even saying she wants a divorce. Is there any way to get a divorce without a strong reason if I want to stay with her? Could they file a case against my parents since she hasn’t visited my home even once after the wedding?

Previous Article My in-laws, a group of six people, attacked me in a private room on the night of November 25th, 2016. I was severely beaten. I hesitated to report it then, hoping to maintain family harmony. However, they’ve recently started threatening me again. Is there a time limit to file a case now? What’s the maximum time I can wait before filing?
Next Article We reported our neighbour’s harassment and threats to our safety, providing details of their actions to the police. We named four people (two brothers, an uncle, and an aunt), along with a GRP officer. The police investigated and filed a case against only the two brothers, citing the age of the aunt and uncle. They said the GRP officer will be investigated separately. We didn’t get any evidence to support the case. After a few days, one of the brothers verbally abused my uncle. We filed an FIR and the brothers’ bond was cancelled. What should we do now?
