My girlfriend and I are deeply in love and want to get married. I’m 27 and she’s 25, but her family is against our relationship because we’re from different castes. My family is supportive. We live in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Can you advise us on the legal process for a court marriage or any other option? We want to keep it confidential from our families initially. If her parents still object after we’re legally married, she’s prepared to leave them.

My wife and I have been separated for 15 years, but we haven’t gotten a divorce. We have two adult children, a son who works but needs help with his education, and a daughter who needs support for her education and marriage. My ex-wife has been relying on her parents, but now needs financial help. My husband is a government employee and might have another wife. What are her legal options to claim maintenance, and how can she get support for our children’s future?

My brother married his girlfriend last year, after a lot of family disagreements. Her family abandoned her, but mine welcomed her with open arms. Now, the situation has changed.

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.

My father, 70 years old, lives with me and my family in our ancestral home. I’m 45 and unemployed, relying on past savings to support us. He sold the rest of our ancestral property 25 years ago, without our consent, and invested the money (now around 40 lakhs, including his provident fund and pension) in bank FDs, all in his name. I’ve been covering his expenses, from food and medicine to electricity and cable bills. I can’t afford it anymore and asked him to contribute, but he threatened to throw us out. Can I claim a share of these FDs?

My sister and I inherited a property from our parents in 2013. We were granted a joint 1/4th share in the court. The property division is still pending. My sister now wants her own share and possession instead of staying joint owners. Is it possible to separate our shares at this stage? We’re from Kolkata.
