My wife and I have been married since May 2015. We’ve been facing some disagreements, and in the heat of the moment, I raised my voice and pushed her away a couple of times. She left our home three weeks ago and hasn’t returned, despite our efforts to make things right. I’m considering a separation. What are the steps involved according to Islamic law? Do I need to pay alimony, especially since she works and earns a salary? Could I face any legal issues if I choose to leave her?

My wife converted to Islam and we legally married in 2006, registering it at the mosque. However, a local official has written to the community, questioning the validity of our marriage and falsely accusing my wife of not fully following Islam. He’s even spread hurtful rumors about my family. Can I take legal action against him? And is there a way to shield my parents from this situation?

## 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?

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?

My father passed away recently. I have two older brothers and two older sisters, all married. After his passing, my brothers have not been supportive, claiming the money he set aside for them. They even took my mother’s jewelry, leaving me alone in the house. My mother passed away three years ago. They aren’t even trying to arrange my marriage. I’m feeling completely lost and alone. What should I do?

My sister is a Muslim widow. Her father-in-law passed away in 2015. Her husband died ten years ago, and she has a 13-year-old daughter. Her father-in-law owned 4 acres of land, which her brother-in-law is currently enjoying alone. They haven’t given my sister any share of the property. How can we legally help her claim her rightful share?

In 2006, a young, unmarried Muslim woman legally bought her married brother’s share of their ancestral house for â‚¹1.5 lakhs. The brother and his wife moved out, along with another sibling. 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?

Sister, I’m worried. My husband sent me a divorce paper with no explanation and two unknown signatures. I haven’t signed anything. Is this divorce valid under Muslim law? I’ve read your articles, but I’m still confused about my situation. Please advise me.

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.
