Under Indian law, as you are both adults, your families cannot legally prevent your marriage. You can proceed with your court or Arya Samaj wedding without their consent.

Growing up in a Christian family, I’ve witnessed my father’s alcoholism for as long as I can remember. My mother and I suffered through years of physical and emotional abuse, which unfortunately continues to this day. I’m 26 now, struggling with anxiety and personality issues while studying psychology. My mother, despite battling Trigeminal Neuralgia, works tirelessly to support us on her 10,000 rupees monthly income. My father earns over 80,000 rupees a month, yet there’s little to show for it besides our basic needs. He’s squandering his income, and I want to know what legal options I have to hold him accountable financially.

I’m 21 years old, a Muslim woman, married for 8 months. I have a 10th grade education and depend on my family. We haven’t had children due to family issues, and I’ve been separated from my husband for 3 months. We’ve tried to reconcile with the help of elders, but he refuses to take me back. He won’t give me a divorce, but he also won’t let me live with him. He claims I’m staying with my family now, so I should just stay there, and he wants to marry someone else. Is this legal? What legal action can I take to force him to keep me? Can he legally marry someone else? Please advise me on what I should do.

Ramu, a retired teacher in his late 60s, reminisces with his childhood neighbour, Anjali, now a successful businesswoman in Mumbai. Over a 15-minute phone call, Ramu confides in Anjali about his loneliness since his wife often travels for work. He mentions how he misses her company and feels isolated. Anjali, understanding his plight, offers comforting words and expresses her wish to meet him if they were in the same city. Though their conversation was purely platonic, would Ramu’s wife or Anjali’s husband have grounds for a police complaint based solely on this phone call?

My father, a retired pensioner, and I are part of a seven-member family from Rajahmundry. My mother, unfortunately, passed away recently, leaving behind a will written by a notary. She bequeathed her three houses to my divorced sister, leaving the rest of us with nothing. This decision was made without my father’s or my consent. The will was witnessed by my maternal uncle and aunt. My sisters are refusing to share a copy of the will or provide any details, leaving me feeling cheated. My father supports the will, but I believe we all deserve equal shares, including my deceased sister’s portion. I’m seeking legal advice on how to proceed in this difficult situation.

My name is Eswar, and I’m from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. I’ve been in love with this girl for almost two years now. Her family just found out about our relationship and they’re against it because of our different castes. They’re pressuring her to file a complaint against me, but she can’t bring herself to do it because she loves me too. She’s 21 and I’m 22, both adults. She’s currently at home, essentially under house arrest. My family has given their blessing to our marriage and she’s ready to come with me. If her parents try to take legal action after we’re married, how can we handle it?

I’m worried about them as I can’t bring them to Singapore during school breaks because my son’s passport needs to be renewed. The passport office requires a court order from a First Class Judicial Magistrate in Delhi confirming I’m a single parent and my husband is missing. I’d be grateful for any legal assistance to get this order so I can travel with my children.
