My mother-in-law has been mentally tormenting me since the beginning of our marriage. We had a love marriage, which she opposed, and she dislikes my parents, constantly abusing and insulting them. She even resented my pregnancy, making my life a living hell. Thankfully, I’ve been blessed with a baby girl, but even after delivery, her violence forced us to leave home. Now, she’s threatening legal action and visits our home, making us feel unsafe. My husband works late, leaving me alone with our five-month-old daughter. I fear for our safety. Could you advise on how to file a complaint to warn her to stop harassing us? We just want her to know that her actions will have consequences.

You can file a complaint under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, which addresses cruelty by a husband or his relatives. You can also approach the local police station to file a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which provides protection against harassment and violence within a family. It’s crucial to document all instances of abuse and harassment, including dates, times, witnesses, and any evidence you have, to strengthen your case.

As an Indian citizen married for 15 years, I’m 35 years old and have a history of documented infertility. We had twin boys through gestational surrogacy five years ago using frozen embryos. Now, my husband and I want to have another child using our remaining frozen embryos through surrogacy again. I have two questions: 1. Since the Surrogacy Bill of 2016 hasn’t been enacted yet, can I proceed with the surrogacy process? 2. If the bill is passed during my potential pregnancy, what are the legal implications?

I’ve been in a relationship for six years, but I’m still completing my studies in Gurgaon. We belong to the same caste, but the girl’s family is pressuring her for dowry. She wants to marry me, and I want to marry her, but I want to be settled first. We told our families about the relationship, and now the girl’s family is making her life difficult. Her mother constantly torments her, won’t let her study, and creates a tense environment at home. What can we do? I’m ready to marry her once I’m settled, but they’re pushing for a wedding now.

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.
