My son lives with me in our house. I was married young, at 17, and later remarried after being honest with my second wife about my previous marriage. She’s filed several legal cases against me, including one for domestic violence. During mediation, she asked for one of our houses to be transferred to her name. I said I wanted one house for my son and another for my daughter. Could the court actually give my house to my second wife?

Indian law considers the welfare of children paramount. The court may consider your son’s living situation and your responsibilities towards him when deciding on property division. Your second wife’s claim will be evaluated based on evidence and the legal framework, and a decision will be made in the best interests of all parties involved.

My mother-in-law and I jointly own a property, but the bank loan is only in my husband’s and my name. This is preventing him from claiming tax benefits on the home loan. Is there any way we can address this situation?

I’m planning to buy a flat in Mumbai. It was originally allotted to a joint family in 2001, but the agreement wasn’t registered. The family later sold it to someone else in 2005 through a registered sale deed. Now, I want to buy the flat from the current owner. Could you tell me if there’s any chance the original joint family, including any children, could challenge this sale later on? If so, how can I ensure this doesn’t happen?

I bought a flat under construction in Pune back in 2015, with a promised delivery date of December that year. It’s now years later and I still haven’t received possession. My agreement clearly states a 9% interest payment for any delays. The builder is ignoring my calls and emails. When I finally got through, they said they’ll only pay compensation if I don’t want the flat! This is completely unfair and not in our contract. I want to get my flat and the compensation I’m owed. What legal steps can I take?

My mother passed away a year ago, leaving behind an ancestral property that she received from her father. Seven years ago, this property was gifted to one of my brothers without my knowledge. I’m a widow living with my daughter and want to understand if I have any legal grounds to claim a share in the property. Could you please offer your advice on this matter?

My family and I are Hindus. I, the elder brother, registered a property settlement deed with my younger brother for my land. The agreement stated he’d get ownership of the first floor after repaying my loan, but in the meantime, I let him build his house there. However, after some time, he began mistreating me and my wife. I live in Hari Nabi and registered the deed at ADSR Sonarpur. He pressured me to sign some papers, claiming they were just consent forms. My father was involved and threatened that if I didn’t sign, he would tell my boss I wasn’t caring for our parents, putting my son at risk. Scared, I signed. Now, I’m worried these papers could be a Power of Attorney (POA), giving him control over the original registered settlement deed. Can he alter the agreement with the Registrar of Assurances in Kolkata? I checked for encumbrances at ADSR Sonarpur and it’s clear until 2014.

Previous Article My wedding in February 2015 was followed by constant disapproval from my in-laws, who felt my father’s arrangements were inadequate. Their criticism and emotional abuse became unbearable. After a disagreement, they demanded I leave. My husband, unfortunately, resorted to insulting my brother and father. Despite my efforts to save the marriage, their insensitive behavior continued. My in-laws viewed me solely as a servant, expected to do chores and please their son. Their education didn’t translate into respect or compassion. One day, their verbal abuse turned physical, forcing me to leave in December 2015. I’ve been living with my parents since. My in-laws have contacted my father, expressing interest in a mutual separation. While the pain and hurt are deeply personal, I need to move forward and end this relationship.
Next Article My Mediclaim policy has been active since 2007. This year, I sent a cheque well before the renewal deadline, and they issued a new policy. However, after the grace period ended, they informed me the cheque bounced due to a signature mismatch, even though my bank account had sufficient funds. I suspect this was done intentionally to reject my claim as a senior citizen. My appeals have gone unanswered. What legal recourse do I have? Can you recommend a lawyer who specializes in insurance disputes?
