My wife, who was widowed before we married, has a daughter from her previous marriage. Her daughter’s birth certificate lists her biological father’s name. However, at school, her name and my name are recorded as father. This discrepancy is causing problems, especially as she moves to higher grades and will need to apply for documents like a passport or PAN card. I’d like to formally adopt her and complete the legal process. I’d appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

I’m a 28-year-old unmarried woman, and I’m struggling. My parents have been forcing me to take antidepressants for the past nine years, despite the side effects and withdrawal symptoms I’ve been dealing with. We’ve had disagreements in the past about their behaviour towards me, but they convinced the doctor that it’s me who has the problem. All my relatives know my parents can be aggressive, and I’m still suffering the trauma of these medications. Is there any legal recourse I can take?

I’m planning to apply for permanent residency in Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program. I’m going through a divorce in India, which started two years ago. My wife has filed several cases, including one for us to live together, another to move the divorce case to her city, and a maintenance case. Our four-year-old son lives with her. Should I include details of these legal proceedings in my PR and visa application? Could these cases affect my chances of getting Canadian PR or a visa? Is it possible that my wife could cause problems for me or my parents in India during or after the PR and visa process?

My neighbour’s widowed mother is being kept locked in her room by her son, who denies her food and beats her. I helped her file a police report but the officers haven’t been very cooperative. What can I do to ensure her safety and get her son punished for this cruelty?

My cousin and I got married in a temple, and we lived together for two years. He then deleted all our wedding photos without my knowledge and now claims we never married. To make matters worse, he sent me a legal notice accusing me of having affairs and demanding money – all completely false. The only proof I have is our honeymoon flight tickets booked in his name, the wedding cake receipt, and our honeymoon package details. Is there any way to prove our marriage? What should I do next? This situation has devastated my life.

My daughter, recently divorced, is in a relationship with a Muslim man. We’re against this, but she threatens to file a case if we don’t let her be with him. She’s free to marry him, but she won’t. This is affecting our other children’s marriage prospects, and we’re worried about the impact on our family. What can we do?

My wife left me in 2013, when our daughter was just 3 years old. I tried to visit her at her family home, but they refused, citing their influence and wealth. Since they had no grounds for a formal divorce, they pressured me in 2016 to sign papers, promising access to my daughter. I reluctantly agreed, signing a 50-rupee stamp paper outlining child custody, care, and meeting rights. This agreement clearly stated I could meet my daughter twice a month. However, after the divorce decree was issued, they again denied me access. The divorce order doesn’t mention any child care or meeting arrangements as we settled it outside court. Now I’m heartbroken and feel cheated. How can I see my daughter?

My husband passed away two years ago without a will. He had purchased some properties in my name before his death. He had a son from a previous marriage, who is now 30 years old. My husband’s son is now asking for a share of these properties, claiming they were his father’s. I have two daughters from my marriage to him. Can he claim a share of these properties even though they are registered in my name only?

We got married in a temple and have a certificate with witnesses. We then decided to live separately while we convinced our families for a formal wedding. But now our parents are refusing to accept the situation. How can we get back together?

My family is pressuring me to get married, but I’m not ready. I’ve explained that I want to focus on my career and education, but they just don’t understand. What should I do? I don’t want to get married, how can I stop it? Time is running out and I’m worried they’ll force me into it. I’ve already said no, but I’m afraid it will make things harder for me.
