The family later rebuilt the old house into a modern multi-storey building in 2016. Now, the brother wants a larger share in the new building. Is this claim valid?

The brother’s claim is likely invalid. The sister legally purchased his share of the ancestral property in 2006. The subsequent reconstruction of the house doesn’t change the ownership structure established by the previous legal transaction.

If a husband wants to divorce his wife after only two months because she’s having an affair, is that possible? If both want a divorce so they can remarry, how quickly can it happen? After the divorce, is the husband obligated to pay anything to his ex-wife, or does it depend on her demands?

I’m 27 years old and my wife is 21. We’ve been married for 8 months and are part of a Muslim community. My wife left our home 2 months ago, citing issues and filing a complaint with our community’s elders. They came to my house saying she wants her belongings because her brother is getting married in April. I don’t want a divorce, but rumors suggest she’s seeking a Khula. We’ve been trying to talk to her family through the elders but they’re not cooperating. I’m planning to send a letter to both the elders and her family, stating that if they don’t respond within 20 days, it will be considered her decision to seek a Khula, and they will be responsible for the outcome due to the delays. Are there any other options in this situation, keeping in mind Indian and Islamic law?

My wife and I were married in a traditional Muslim ceremony. While I’m fully committed to our marriage, she and her family are planning to file a 498A case and other legal actions against me, accusing me of violence. I’ve heard that since the Uniform Civil Code isn’t in place, these laws might not apply to Muslims because we follow Muslim Personal Law. Is this true? Can they really file these cases against me, considering our religious background?
