I’m a Hindu woman, and my ex-husband was Buddhist. Our marriage was difficult, and things turned bad within days. I had to move into a hostel and he started harassing me. I didn’t have family support, so I couldn’t file a complaint. After two months, I left him. He took all my important documents, including my educational and property papers, and won’t return them. I’ve remarried since, but he still won’t give back my documents. What can I do?

You can file a police complaint for theft of your documents. Since your ex-husband is withholding your documents, which are crucial for your personal and financial well-being, you can also pursue a civil case for their return. A lawyer can advise you on the best course of action.
