We’re a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl, deeply in love for the past five years. Our families and society won’t accept our relationship, so we want to get married in court. We’re struggling to find witnesses because of the fear of social backlash. We also don’t know where to go or what the procedure is for a court marriage. We’re worried about post-marriage threats and need guidance on how to stay safe and secure. Could someone please help us navigate this difficult situation?

You can get married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which allows interfaith couples to register their marriage. You’ll need two witnesses and can approach a District Registrar’s office for guidance on the procedure. For safety, consider informing the local police and seeking legal advice from a lawyer specializing in interfaith marriage.

I’ve been living with my in-laws for the past four months. They’re saying they’ll only keep me if I give them my salary. My husband doesn’t work and they claim I’ll get nothing even if I file for divorce because all the property is in my father-in-law’s name. I’m disabled, so is there any chance my daughter and I have a share in the property? What should I do?

My teacher, I understand. My wife has filed a false case against me, my brother, father, and mother. I’m willing to accept any conditions they set.

My mother-in-law believes that since I’m married, my parents have no claim on me. She insists I need her permission to visit them and wants to control how long I stay.

Previous Article My family owns some farmland, and we want to build a small shed for our cows. Our neighbour owns the land next to ours, and there’s a big tree on his property. Its branches are growing over our land, making it difficult for us to work. We asked him to trim the branches, but he said he’s allowed to leave them be. Would it be wrong for us to cut the branches ourselves, or could we get into trouble?
