My wife left me four years ago, taking our two children to her mother’s house. She filed a case against me and now wants my elderly mother and grandmother to leave our home. We’ve been in court for years, with no real progress, even after trying counselling. I’ve tried to reconcile, but she refuses. Now she wants to come back, but only if my mother and grandmother are gone, and I can’t see them. What are my legal options? Will the court force me to choose between my wife and my family?

Indian law does not force you to choose between your wife and your family. While the court may consider the best interests of the children in custody proceedings, it cannot force you to choose between family members. You can seek legal advice to determine the best way to protect your family’s interests and address your wife’s demands within the legal framework.

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.

As a Hindu, should I consider a live-in relationship agreement to ensure my safety and commitment with my partner?

My husband and I have been married for a year. Sadly, his parents have been mentally harassing me, and the living conditions are terrible. I feel constantly stressed and want to move out, but my husband’s siblings insist I stay with his abusive parents. They say it’s my responsibility to care for them. Even though my husband’s two brothers live separately on the same property, they force me to stay with his parents. They argue that I knew about their family dynamics when I married. The house isn’t even owned by my husband or his parents. How can I legally separate and find peace?

My marriage, a Hindu ceremony, started beautifully. My husband, an army officer, and his family were warm initially. But things took a dark turn after a year. The abuse, both verbal and emotional, towards me and my family became unbearable. I had to leave, seeking refuge with my parents, just before the birth of my second daughter. Now, with no income and two young girls to care for, I’m lost and scared. What path can I take?

My daughter-in-law left home, locking the door, and didn’t answer any calls. We then received a call from the police informing us that she had filed a 498A case against my family. We went to their place with our relatives, spoke to them, and she withdrew the complaint. She agreed to live peacefully. Later, I asked her to sign an affidavit confirming nothing happened as she claimed. She refused and left. Some relatives who went to their home were threatened. This happened six months ago. Now, she’s again trying to file cases and harass us. She has a very aggressive nature, and our marriage is not working. What should I do now, as they are threatening our lives?

Next Article My family owns a small farm in India, about 2 acres. For the past few years, our neighbor has been claiming a portion of it (about 30%) as his own and farming it. We have all the proper paperwork and land records, but he’s refusing to allow us to survey or put up a fence. We’re worried he’ll try to claim more of our land. We’re from out of town and haven’t been able to visit often. What legal steps can we take to ensure he doesn’t interfere with our land survey and stops using our property?
