My in-laws are refusing to return the jewellery my grandparents gifted me during my marriage. There are some family disagreements, but I don’t want things to escalate further. Would a gentle reminder or some sort of notice help them understand the situation and return my jewellery? They’ve stopped communicating with us, and it’s causing a lot of stress. How can I get my jewellery back peacefully?

Indian law recognizes gifts as the property of the recipient. A gentle reminder might help, but if it doesn’t, you can consider sending a legal notice demanding the return of your jewellery. If that fails, you could file a civil suit to reclaim your property.

My wife is accusing me of having an inappropriate relationship with my sister-in-law based on a recorded phone call. She’s even gone to the CAW cell with this recording, adding other false accusations. The truth is, I only spoke to her on the phone, there was never anything more. Now, the CAW cell is pressuring me, saying I’m hiding something. I don’t know how to handle all these false accusations. I admit the call was a mistake, but I’m innocent of any deeper involvement. What should I do to avoid a divorce?

My wife left me in 2013, when our daughter was just 3 years old. I tried to visit her at her family home, but they refused, citing their influence and wealth. Since they had no grounds for a formal divorce, they pressured me in 2016 to sign papers, promising access to my daughter. I reluctantly agreed, signing a 50-rupee stamp paper outlining child custody, care, and meeting rights. This agreement clearly stated I could meet my daughter twice a month. However, after the divorce decree was issued, they again denied me access. The divorce order doesn’t mention any child care or meeting arrangements as we settled it outside court. Now I’m heartbroken and feel cheated. How can I see my daughter?
