My wife and I are living apart, but our children are with her. I filed a case to get custody of them, but now I want to withdraw it. If I do, could she file a case against me for damages, defamation, or something else?

Indian law doesn’t explicitly allow for damages or defamation claims simply because a parent withdraws a custody case. However, withdrawing a case may be considered a change in circumstances that could influence future custody proceedings. It’s best to consult a lawyer for legal advice specific to your situation.

I was in a relationship with a girl from Delhi for four years, starting in January 2012 and ending in May 2016. We lived together for two and a half years during that time. We were planning our future together, but things changed. I felt she became overly demanding, and she insisted on not living with my family after marriage. I moved back to my hometown in March 2015 due to personal reasons. We continued talking over the phone until May 2016, but the long distance proved difficult and we stopped communicating. My concern is whether she could sue me for breach of promise to marry or file a false case against me. We ended our relationship amicably, but I’m worried about her possessive nature. I want to mention that she belongs to a Scheduled Caste, as I’m not sure if this impacts the situation. I appreciate any advice from legal experts.

My husband’s family received a significant amount of money as a wedding gift, deposited into an account jointly held by my husband and his father. Now, during a legal dispute, my lawyer requested bank statements and PAN card details for this account from the past year. However, my husband is refusing to provide them, claiming his father has disowned him from the family business. This seems untrue as he still has access to the ATM and knows his PAN card number.
