My name is Eswar, and I’m from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. I’ve been in love with this girl for almost two years now. Her family just found out about our relationship and they’re against it because of our different castes. They’re pressuring her to file a complaint against me, but she can’t bring herself to do it because she loves me too. She’s 21 and I’m 22, both adults. She’s currently at home, essentially under house arrest. My family has given their blessing to our marriage and she’s ready to come with me. If her parents try to take legal action after we’re married, how can we handle it?

In India, inter-caste marriages are legal and protected under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. If her parents file a complaint after your marriage, you can present proof of your marriage and demonstrate that the relationship is consensual. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your specific legal options and navigate the situation.

I’m a 42-year-old man, married for 17 years. My wife, who is 35, and I have a 14-year-old daughter. We’ve been living in the same house separately for the past 3-4 years. I run a small business, and my wife works. She prepares breakfast for herself, leaves for work at 9 AM, and comes home around 9 PM, sometimes under the influence of alcohol.

He now denies everything he said, and doesn’t even pay for our expenses or visit me. I quit my job after marriage to be a homemaker, and have supported myself with my savings. Now I’ve found a job, but it pays little, and they’re trying to exploit the situation, even pressuring my husband to abandon me. He refuses to contribute to our daughter’s school fees or even give me money for daily needs. Can they legally force me out of their home, and is there any way to protect myself?

Dear Sir/Madam, My daughter and son-in-law recently reached a mediation agreement in the Family Court regarding maintenance, setting a monthly amount of Rs. 25,000.

As he’s a central government employee, I’m curious about the reason for this arrangement. Is there any limit on cash transfers for such situations? Kindly clarify.
