Under the Hindu Marriage Act, marriage between individuals whose grandmothers are cousins is prohibited. This applies even if you are both Maharashtrian, as the Act is applicable to all Hindus in India.

My wife left home and stayed with her mother for six months. After asking her to return, she refused. We tried to resolve the situation amicably, but she filed a case against me, my mother, and my sisters accusing us of dowry harassment (498A), cruelty (498A), and criminal intimidation (506). The police suggested a compromise, but my wife refused. Now, they’ve filed an FIR. Should my entire family apply for anticipatory bail or individual bail? A lawyer quoted 25,000 rupees for bail for all five of us. Additionally, I’m worried about the outcome of the case. I received two lakhs as dowry, including one lakh worth of gold jewelry for my wife, and have the receipt.

My father, 70 years old, lives with me and my family in our ancestral home. I’m 45 and unemployed, relying on past savings to support us. He sold the rest of our ancestral property 25 years ago, without our consent, and invested the money (now around 40 lakhs, including his provident fund and pension) in bank FDs, all in his name. I’ve been covering his expenses, from food and medicine to electricity and cable bills. I can’t afford it anymore and asked him to contribute, but he threatened to throw us out. Can I claim a share of these FDs?
