We got married in June 2014 and lived together for four months. Sadly, things didn’t work out, and we’ve been living separately since November 2014. We don’t have children. I earn around 50K per month after deductions and own a one-bedroom apartment with a home loan of 10 lakhs outstanding. My father is a pensioner, so I don’t have any financial responsibilities towards my parents. My wife is an engineer but doesn’t have a job currently. If I decide to go for a one-time settlement for divorce, how much alimony would I have to pay?

Under Indian law, alimony is based on several factors including duration of marriage, financial capacity of both spouses, and earning potential. Since you lived together for only four months and have no children, the court is likely to grant a minimal amount of alimony, considering your wife’s earning potential and your income. The exact amount would depend on the specific circumstances and the judge’s discretion.

My daughter, who is divorced, has been dating a Muslim man for the past four years. We’ve made it clear that we won’t accept a relationship with her if she chooses to marry him. While we respect her decision to marry, we can’t have her in our family anymore. This is because she’s threatened to file a harassment case against my husband and me if we prevent her from entering our home. We’ve never stopped her from marrying him, but she’s not moving forward with the marriage and refuses to leave him. She also won’t leave our rented house, creating difficulties for our other daughters who are getting marriage proposals. We’re at our wit’s end as she insists that no one can stop her from entering the house or meeting her boyfriend while living with us, which we find unacceptable. This situation has escalated twice last year when we tried to address her behavior with the police.

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?

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.
