My wife and I, from different castes, got married in December 2012 and registered it, but kept it a secret from our families. She went back to her parents after a few days. We told them about the marriage in August 2013, but they’re not accepting it. They’re threatening us and stopping her from coming to me. My parents are willing to accept her. I’m now working in Delhi and both our families are in UP. What can I do? Can I file a case in Delhi?

You can file a case for “Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005” in Delhi, as your wife faces threats and harassment from her family. You can also approach the Delhi Police to register an FIR against her family for obstructing your marriage and threatening you.

My family rents a house for 8 thousand rupees a month. My father, a pensioner who receives 18.5k monthly, agreed to pay the rent to the landlord. For the past year, the rent hasn’t been paid, and the owner just found out. He wants the entire amount in one go. My brother recently got a job, but I’m unemployed and my mother is a homemaker. We own a 2.5-acre plot of land worth roughly 1 lakh rupees. If the landlord takes legal action to recover the rent, will I be held responsible for paying it, as I also lived in the house with my father?

My marriage in 2008 blessed us with a daughter, now 6 years old. For the past 6 months, things have been difficult between us. My wife has been using old recordings of our arguments and personal jokes exchanged on our phones against me. She’s making false accusations about me, claiming I’m mistreating her. My in-laws have a troubled past – my mother-in-law left my father-in-law after taking his money and home, and is now with another man. My sister-in-law even filed a false dowry harassment case against her husband. Now, it seems they’re targeting me. My wife, along with my daughter, suddenly arrived at my house and attacked me, trying to grab my phone which contains recordings of their threats against me. She even bit my hand and chest. I had to leave my home and filed a complaint, along with medical proof. She then filed a dowry harassment case against me, but the police haven’t arrested me yet. They’ve just asked me to come to the station. What should I do now? Should I seek legal advice? My wife has been having an affair, wanting to replace me with her new lover. She’s taken over our home. I never took any dowry.

My sister got married in a grand ceremony with over 400 guests in Phushro, Jharkhand, in February 2014.

They have a marriage certificate but this woman never lived with him and his family was unaware of the situation. My sister gave birth to a daughter in December 2015. We tried to resolve the issue with his family, but he refuses to leave his first wife. What legal options do we have?

Previous Article I’m 26 years old and was married for a short while, but we separated within a month. We haven’t officially gotten divorced yet. I’m preparing for a government job and am unsure if it’s okay to mark myself as “single” on the application. We didn’t register our marriage, it was a religious ceremony. Could there be any issues if I list myself as single, especially considering the lack of registration?
