My fiancé is a Christian from Kerala, and I’m a Hindu from Chennai. We’re both in our mid-twenties and want to get married, but my parents are strongly opposed. They’ve already raised concerns about our interfaith relationship. Could they still file a legal case against him to take me back, even after the legal waiting period for objections has passed? My fiancé also has a past criminal case that’s being resolved, but it’s not yet completely cleared. Could this past case be used against us? I’m worried about any potential legal obstacles my dad’s lawyer might use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In India, parents cannot legally force an adult to marry someone else or prevent them from marrying someone of their choice. Your father’s lawyer cannot use your fiancé’s past criminal case to stop your marriage, especially after the legal waiting period for objections has passed. However, your father might try to influence you emotionally or use social pressure, but it’s not legally actionable.

My husband is away in another country, and I’ve been living in Hyderabad with my in-laws. My two children, aged 9 and 10, were going to a CBSE school there. Due to family issues, I had to move back to my hometown, Ahmedabad. I contacted the school principal to request their transfer certificates so I could enroll them in a school here. However, the principal refused, stating they need both parents’ signatures for the transfer. This is difficult due to the ongoing family conflict. Is there any way I can get the transfer certificates for my children?

My father recently passed away, and we have a single apartment in his name. My mother and I, along with my three unmarried sisters, live there.

Could you please advise me on the legal process and procedures involved in selling or transferring the property?

I’m 25, and my boyfriend is 29. We want to get married, but when I told my family, my relatives threatened to harm us both. They’ve locked me in the house, preventing me from working, and they’ve been emotionally and physically abusive. I’m terrified. My job is in Kolkata, and my boyfriend’s is in another state. I don’t want to live with my family anymore. What can I do?

We got married 3 months ago after knowing each other for 3 years. We had a traditional Hindu wedding with over 100 guests but haven’t registered it. We’ve been living under the same roof but in separate rooms. We want to end this marriage amicably. We haven’t consummated it and agreed to it due to family pressure. He had an affair before the wedding but not after. Can we get an annulment due to fraud or pressure? If not, can we file for a mutual divorce even though we’ve only been separated for 3 months? What’s the earliest we can file and finalize the divorce process?

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.
