My sister, married in 2005 after a four-year relationship, faced domestic abuse. Tragically, she took her own life in 2010, naming her husband and his family in a suicide note. We chose not to pursue legal action then, fearing the impact on her young daughter. In the note, she wished her daughter to be raised by her father. The child has been living with us since. Now, after three years, her father has taken the child without our knowledge. We regret not taking action earlier. Can we now use the suicide note to file a case against him and his family?

Yes, you can still file a case against the husband and his family based on the suicide note. It can be used as evidence of domestic violence and potentially support a case for custody of the child. However, you will need to consult a lawyer to assess the strength of your case and navigate the legal process.

My daughter, who is divorced, has been dating a Muslim man for the past four years. We’ve made it clear that we won’t accept a relationship with her if she chooses to marry him. While we respect her decision to marry, we can’t have her in our family anymore. This is because she’s threatened to file a harassment case against my husband and me if we prevent her from entering our home. We’ve never stopped her from marrying him, but she’s not moving forward with the marriage and refuses to leave him. She also won’t leave our rented house, creating difficulties for our other daughters who are getting marriage proposals. We’re at our wit’s end as she insists that no one can stop her from entering the house or meeting her boyfriend while living with us, which we find unacceptable. This situation has escalated twice last year when we tried to address her behavior with the police.

My mother and I suffered through years of physical and emotional abuse, which unfortunately continues to this day.

My mother, despite battling Trigeminal Neuralgia, works tirelessly to support us on her 10,000 rupees monthly income. My father earns over 80,000 rupees a month, yet there’s little to show for it besides our basic needs. He’s squandering his income, and I want to know what legal options I have to hold him accountable financially.
