You should consult with a lawyer immediately. They can advise you on how to proceed with your dowry harassment and domestic violence cases, as well as how to respond to the divorce summons. You should also gather evidence to support your claims, such as medical records, witness statements, and communication records.

My wife and I have been married for 10 years, and we have two wonderful children. Lately, we’ve been struggling to connect, and I’ve found solace in talking to an old friend. We talk daily on the phone and meet twice a month. She’s unable to marry due to a health condition. My wife has become very upset and is threatening to file a police complaint if I don’t stop this. Can she really dictate every aspect of my life and force me to live according to her demands?

My wife left our home in 2014 and filed cases against me and my family in my hometown. The police filed charges, but there’s been no hearing yet, and we’re on bail. Now, two years later, we got a letter from the women’s police station in my wife’s hometown saying she filed another complaint. Should I go there to explain our side? Can she file a new case even though we haven’t been in touch? I’m hesitant to travel to her hometown.

A young woman from a marginalized community, belonging to a Scheduled Caste, was promised marriage by a man from an upper caste family. They lived together as husband and wife, and she gave birth to their child. However, despite the child’s existence, the man refused to acknowledge her as his wife. He later married another woman, according to his own community customs, and had a child with her. While he gave his surname to his child with the second woman, he denied it to the woman from the Scheduled Caste and their child. Can this woman, after 35 years, seek legal redress against him?

My father inherited his mother’s ancestral property, but we, his three daughters, haven’t lived with him for four years. My two younger sisters are minors, and I’m an adult. My mother has filed a case claiming ownership of the property. Can we claim a share in it? He inherited the property from his mother, not through a gift, and registered it in his name after her death. Is there any way we can get a portion of the property?

My wife and I had a small disagreement two years into our marriage. Her parents took her away, saying they wouldn’t let her stay with me. She said she knew how to leave without me. I didn’t contact them, but she called after three months. I didn’t pick up. Three months later, they went to the police with a false complaint, claiming I had beaten her. My father and I went to the station, but we didn’t get scared by their threats to file an FIR. After another three months, they went back to the police, this time alleging harassment about my wife’s salary. We went to mediation, and she admitted her mistake, saying she was pressured by her parents and sister. She might be innocent, but what if this happens again? My life will be ruined. Is there a way to stop this, like an agreement stating that if she leaves me again, I’ll file for divorce?
