My cousin got married two years ago. She lived with us for a couple of months, then spent a few months at her parents’ place. We tried to convince her to return, but she refused, demanding separate living arrangements. We filed for conjugal rights, but they countered with false claims of harassment and dowry. They even went to the women’s commission, but they’re not helping. Now, she wants all the jewelry (which she took) and Rs. 7 lakh for wedding expenses. We’re at our wit’s end, what can we do?

My heart aches as I write this. I’ve been with Vivek for six years, a love story that began in 2010 amidst the challenges of my divorce. He promised to stand by me and marry me once things settled down. We’ve been long distance, Delhi to Mumbai, but our bond has always been strong, like husband and wife despite the distance. We even visited each other 3-4 times a year. Now, in 2016, he’s planning to marry someone else, telling me only after his engagement.

My father and his two brothers divided their land 30 years ago, and we’ve been farming according to that division ever since. However, there’s no official record of this partition. Now, one of my cousins thinks the division was unfair and wants to redo it. Is his request valid? Can he go to court to get the land re-divided? We are six cousins in total, and only he is unhappy with the current arrangement. His father has passed away.

We’re planning a simple, court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, as we’re both Hindus and prefer a smaller celebration. Is it necessary for both of us to be present when applying? Also, can one of us apply in our own state, where we’ve been living for over a month?

My girlfriend and I are deeply in love and both our families initially agreed to our marriage. However, after she got a government job, her family is now refusing our union. What are our options to move forward safely and legally? Can we seek help from the High Court, or is there another legal path we can explore?

As a 72-year-old widow, I’ve been living with my daughter since 2000, even after her marriage in 2007. My two sons, aged 52 and 47, are well-established but refuse to support me financially or offer me a place to stay. My daughter, despite her own financial struggles, has been a pillar of support, but now I need help. I am seeking maintenance from my sons, as I have no home or property of my own.

I’m a 24-year-old woman, and I’m head over heels for this American guy who’s in the military. He’s coming to India next month and wants to get married. I’m so excited! But I’m a bit lost about the whole legal process â€“ like, what are the first steps, how long will it take, and what documents do we need? Any advice would be amazing!

I filed for divorce in January and my wife filed a 498A case against me, my brother, father, and mother in March. This January, she also filed a Domestic Violence case (DVC), adding my sister’s name to the list of accused. My concern is about the DVC case â€“ I plan to only contest it and make all family members ex-parte. Will this cause any issues in the future? Does being ex-parte imply we agree with my wife’s allegations? If her claims are proven false at trial, will the ex-parte judgment affect my family members? What are the potential consequences for my family if my wife wins the DVC case? I need your advice on whether this strategy is wise or not.

My husband and I met online, he proposed and I said yes. He asked for money before our marriage, which I gave him. Right after the wedding, he became emotionally distant, saying he was trapped financially. I took out a loan from my parents, but it wasn’t enough, so I gave him all the jewelry from his family. He even took out a loan against that, but never showed me any paperwork. Now, he refuses to repay the loans, won’t give back the jewelry, and doesn’t take financial responsibility for me or our child. My parents are helping us. He recently moved without telling me and sent my belongings to his hometown, preventing me from going with him. I belong to a Scheduled Tribe community.

My family in Kerala, a Catholic Christian household, is planning to divide our ancestral property between my brother and me. We have two houses: one inherited from my grandfather, registered in my father’s name, and another built by my father, registered in my mother’s name. My father wants to give his share to my brother and my mother’s share to me. However, I’m concerned my mother might change her mind later. What kind of agreement should I ask my father to create to ensure my inheritance is secure?

My brother passed away on August 14th, 2015, while my sister-in-law was pregnant. She gave birth to a son in September and remarried in June 2016. My brother’s company is asking for a legal heir certificate to settle his terminal benefits. My parents and I are wondering if they have a share in the benefits. My sister-in-law obtained a family certificate from MeeSeva without our knowledge, listing only her and my brother’s names. What should we do to proceed?
