I sent a registered letter with a demand draft for Iddath and included evidence of Talaq, just nine days before filing a complaint in a Lok Adalat. They’re demanding a high amount for the divorce and want my wife to talk with me. My lawyer has helped me avoid a 498a case so far. Since I’ve sent the Talaq, can I get the divorce finalized in the Lok Adalat? They want a large sum for compromise, which I cannot afford. I never took any dowry from them. What should I do to protect myself from further legal claims?

Under Indian law, Talaq alone is not sufficient for divorce. You need to follow the proper legal procedures for divorce, either through mutual consent or contested proceedings. The Lok Adalat may facilitate a settlement, but it cannot force a divorce. You should continue to engage with your lawyer to protect your interests and explore all legal options available to you.

How can I register my late father’s property in my name as a Muslim? He didn’t leave a will.

My husband and I are struggling, and I want to seek Khula (divorce). He restricts my phone use, prevents me from calling my parents, and doesn’t respect me as his wife. He also refuses to be intimate with me regularly. He won’t agree to Khula. I’m confused about the process and valid reasons. I’ve been staying with my parents for the past three months and took my belongings. He refuses to return my documents like my birth certificate and passport. I’m 21 years old, married for nine months, and live in Mumbai. Can you guide me on the legal steps to obtain Khula, the time frame, and if my reasons are valid? I’m feeling lost and need help.

## Can a Person’s Religious Conversion Impact the Minority Status of Their Institution? Imagine a man named Ramesh, who was born a Hindu and converted to Islam in 2014. He established two educational institutions, one in 2002 and another in 2015. The National Commission for Minorities Educational Institutions (NCMEI) Act of 2004 states that an institution must be established by a minority to qualify for minority status. Since Ramesh was not Muslim in 2002, his first institution would not qualify. However, his second institution, established after his conversion, would be eligible. This raises a question about the legal implications of a person’s changing religious identity. Can someone hold two distinct legal statuses based on their conversion? Does the law apply retroactively, affecting the past, or only prospectively, applying to events after the change? Let’s explore a similar scenario: If Ramesh was initially Muslim and converted to Hinduism in 2014, would the same principle apply to his institutions established before and after his conversion?
