My wife has been living separately for over three months. She filed a Domestic Violence case against me two months ago. I’ve appeared in court thrice and submitted my response. Can they still file a dowry harassment case (Section 498A) against me? We are Hindus.

Yes, your wife can still file a dowry harassment case (Section 498A) against you, even though she has been living separately and a domestic violence case is already in progress. These are separate legal proceedings with different elements and procedures.

My fiancée and her family are caught in a false 498A case. Her family is in Bhavnagar, but she was studying in Surat during and after her brother’s marriage. She never lived with her sister-in-law, yet her sister-in-law filed a case against the entire family. I live in Canada and want to bring my fiancée here urgently. Some say she can’t get a passport due to the case. Is this true? If not, how can she get a passport? How can we remove her name from the case? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ravi.

I’m from a Sikh family and facing severe mental harassment from my in-laws. My father-in-law and mother-in-law constantly try to push me out of the house and my mother-in-law uses abusive language. They’ve even filed a case against my husband and me regarding property. What steps should I take in this situation?

My wife, from a different background, has been dismissive of my family since our marriage two years ago. She constantly insults them over the phone to her relatives, often in front of me. Despite attempts to resolve this with family intervention, her behavior hasn’t changed. What can I do?

Seeking ways to safeguard elderly loved ones from financial exploitation and ensure their well-being.

My father passed away in 2007, leaving behind a landed property in Chennai and Bengaluru, registered in my mother’s name. We, the four brothers, agreed to an equal share of the property, with each receiving 1200 sq ft in both cities. My siblings registered their shares in Chennai and Bengaluru in 2000 and 2010, respectively. However, I’m yet to receive my share. My mother, wife, and two sons are living on the property in Bengaluru, where a two-story house stands. Currently, I’m working in Uttar Pradesh and my siblings are threatening my family, claiming I have no rights to the property because I left Bengaluru for work. They’re even threatening my mother and harassing her to vacate the house. My siblings are also trying to manipulate her to create embarrassing situations in public, hoping to gain sympathy and force my family out. I am seeking legal guidance and support to reach an amicable settlement, resolving this family dispute and ensuring the safety and well-being of my family.

Previous Article I’m considering buying a flat on a plot of land that was previously an Inam property. The ownership rights were formally registered in 1979 by the Special Deputy Commissioner for Abolition of Inams after paying a fee of Rs 1,500. In 1980, Mr. X purchased this land. Construction of flats began in 2005 in a joint venture between Mr. X and a builder. Would it be safe to buy a flat in this development?
Next Article Our family, a big joint one with 25 members, lived in our village until 2008. My father, the sole breadwinner, supported us all. He single-handedly built our house. Now, we’re splitting into smaller families. I’m curious, after the division, what share of our grandfather’s property will my father receive? And how can I find out more about the details of our grandfather’s estate?
