In India, you can seek legal recourse under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. This law provides for various protective measures, including restraining orders, compensation for mental harassment, and even temporary custody of your children. You can file a complaint with the local Magistrate court.

I’m now old enough to understand the situation and need help resolving this complex inheritance issue.

My engagement was in January 2016. Later, I discovered some concerning information about my fiancée’s family and decided to end the engagement.
