India’s legal framework recognizes the personal law of Muslims, including Islamic law, for matters like marriage, divorce, and inheritance. This means that Muslim women’s rights are governed by Islamic law, which may differ from other personal laws in India.

My boyfriend and I are deeply in love and want to get married. He’s a Muslim and I’m a Buddhist.

How are inheritances handled according to Islamic law in India?

My marriage is just six months old, and my wife and I are both Muslims. Since the wedding, she has been constantly emotionally abusing me, even saying she only married me for my high salary. This has driven me to the brink, affecting my mental health. I’ve tried to mutually dissolve the marriage, but she refuses. She insists on remaining legally married to me, even after my death, to secure a pension. I feel trapped and desperate. Is there any way to legally end this marriage and protect myself from further harm? Can I use Section 4b (i) & (ii) of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act to end this marriage? I’m in a terrifying situation and desperately need help.

My brother tricked my four sisters, including me, into signing a release deed for our ancestral property in 1989. We filed a lawsuit against the deed in 2011 and it’s nearing its final stage. I need advice on how to proceed.

My brother and I are two sons, along with five sisters, in a Muslim family. Our father owned land in his village in Uttar Pradesh. The land records, written in Hindi, list both my brother and me as “Khatedar ka naam” and our father as “Sanrakshak ka naam”. Sadly, our father passed away in 1999 without leaving a will. We’re uncertain about the following: 1. Do only my brother and I have rights to this land, or do our sisters also have a share? 2. If our sisters are entitled to a share, what percentage would each receive? 3. Would we need our sisters’ consent to sell the land?

In 2005, his parents made our life miserable, both emotionally and financially, forcing us to leave their home after only a year. We returned in 2014, hoping for a better future. Sadly, their behavior hasn’t changed. They’re constantly harassing us, threatening to throw us out again, and even refusing to provide basic necessities even though they receive income from the family business. What are our legal rights in this situation?
Next Article My two brothers and I own 40 acres of land, along with some vehicles. But most of the land is registered in my eldest brother’s and his son’s names. Our father had registered 12 acres in my elder brother’s name because he managed the farming. Now, if the property is divided, will I get a fair share? My parents own the rest of the land. Will we all three brothers get an equal division?
