Under Indian law, you can file for divorce on grounds of desertion and seek maintenance for yourself and your child. You can also file a separate case against your husband and his parents for mental harassment and seek compensation for the distress caused.

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.

My father passed away in 2009 and my mother followed in 2017. My brother now claims full ownership of the family home and refuses to share. I’d like to know: 1. How long might a court case take to resolve and what are the associated court fees? 2. Can I claim rent for the years my brother has lived in the house since 2001? 3. Is it possible to claim my mother’s pension? Thank you for your time and advice.

My daughter, who is divorced, has been dating a Muslim man for the past four years. We’ve made it clear that we won’t accept a relationship with her if she chooses to marry him. While we respect her decision to marry, we can’t have her in our family anymore. This is because she’s threatened to file a harassment case against my husband and me if we prevent her from entering our home. We’ve never stopped her from marrying him, but she’s not moving forward with the marriage and refuses to leave him. She also won’t leave our rented house, creating difficulties for our other daughters who are getting marriage proposals. We’re at our wit’s end as she insists that no one can stop her from entering the house or meeting her boyfriend while living with us, which we find unacceptable. This situation has escalated twice last year when we tried to address her behavior with the police.

I’m a 35-year-old woman, married to a good man whom my parents didn’t approve of. Before marriage, I worked and my mother managed my finances, refusing to give me access to my bank account. The first time I visited after marriage, there was a huge fight. My mother said this wasn’t my home anymore and wouldn’t even let me near the computer. Three years later, after having my second child, I stayed for two weeks. My mother and sister constantly harassed me, accusing my husband of not giving me money. I was devastated. I worked my whole life and gave them my earnings. When I asked for my bank passbook, they claimed it was stolen. What can I do now?

Previous Article I was medically discharged from the Indian Air Force in 1976 due to a condition deemed neither service-related nor aggravated by service. I’m a former NDA cadet from the pilots’ branch and received only invalidment gratuity. Sadly, I was not provided with my medical board papers. Prior to my commissioning in 1972, and even afterwards, I had no pre-existing disabilities. My only medical incident was a fainting episode on March 30, 1972, at Air Force Station Kumbhigram, Mizoram, following an air maintenance sortie. Kumbhigram was a declared war zone until March 31, 1972. I’ve been seeking answers from the Air Chief for the past two years, but haven’t received any response. Could you please offer some advice?
