We’ve been married for 23 years now, and my wife just doesn’t seem to grow up when it comes to sharing the household responsibilities. It’s like pulling teeth to get her to help out, and when I try to talk to her about it, things just escalate. She resorts to name-calling and threats, making our rented apartment feel like a battlefield. We have two young children, and this constant fighting is affecting them too. I’m worried she might do something drastic that could put our home at risk. What can I do to protect myself and my children?

Under Indian law, domestic violence includes verbal abuse, threats, and emotional distress. You can file a complaint with the police or approach a court seeking a protection order against your wife. This order can restrict her from causing further harm and ensure your safety and that of your children.

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 father passed away in 1991, leaving behind shares in several companies. I’ve heard that only sons have a claim on these shares, and daughters don’t have equal rights. Is this true? I understand the Supreme Court ruling might impact this, since my father died before 2005. Could you explain the legal situation clearly?

My father had eight siblings, seven brothers, and one sister. They were a close-knit family, with their father dividing the ancestral agricultural land amongst his seven sons. This division was documented and witnessed, but never officially registered. However, one of the brothers, who was adopted by his uncle, now disputes this division, demanding an equal share of the entire property. Could a division agreement signed by the father and his sons, with witnesses, be legally valid even without registration? Is the adopted brother entitled to inherit from his biological father’s property? And what are the chances of the six brothers, who accept the original division, securing their rightful share?

My wife filed for alimony in Mumbai and the family court granted it. I appealed this decision in the High Court and it was accepted. Now, both the family court and lower court refuse to hear my case, saying it’s pending in the High Court. However, even though my case is listed for hearing in the High Court, it hasn’t been called after a year. What can I do?
