A. Dear Client,
You should advise your parents to stop demanding for dowry as that is a criminal act and if complained by anybody/your wife then they can be arrested by the police. If you have an ancestral property then they cannot throw you out of that property.

icon Regarding permanent injunction from doing second marriage by wife

Wife has filed child custody petition and domestic violence case against husband on false grounds. Thereafter, husband filed divorce case against wife on cruelty grounds. Now, wife verbally told husba


A. As long the case is going she can't marry as that will be an invalid marriage. You maty try and file a case for injunction but since it is obvious that one can't marry the court will not be inclined to pass a judgement on figment of thoughts and guesswork. Also it will be a great dilemma for the court to pass an order for something which is already built in the law hence in m opinion the court shall not entertain your application.
As far as permanent injunction is concerned the court will never ...ReadMore

icon Restitution of conjugal rights

My husband has Petioned to live with him I m also willing to live I already attended one counselling another counselling he did not appear he asked asked for mediation but he keeps on skipping dates i


A. See restitution of conjugal rights are filed for two reasons;
1. The Petitioner wants that the spouse should come and stay with the petitioner as directed by the court.
2. To take advantage of the situation that the opposite side is not willing to come and after one year of passing the judgement the petitioner can file a case for divorce.

You let the court know that you have been appearing but the petitioner is not appearing and then he will not be able to take any undue advantage of this.

icon Transfer of a case in Supreme Court

Sir, My husband is from Orissa and I am from Andhra Pradesh. In the month of July he has filed Judicial Separation Section 10 Hindu Marriage Act. As presently I am staying with my parents in Andhra Pr


A. Since the separation case is family matter and the procedure is like a civil case hence it was allowed to be transferred but the procedure under the DV Act is like a criminal case and hence it will not be allowed to be transferred. In DV case the mother in law has filed a case which will be handled by local police and the magistrate. So, very rare chances of transfer.

Due to some arguments I have hit my wife couple of times and she also hit me back and threatened she will hurt herself by taking knife but later we spoke mutually and apologised to each other and live


A. Dear Client,
If she decides to take legal action against you, you must take precautions to protect yourself from the negative consequences. You can keep a general diary (GD) with your local police department about everything so that if you are the subject of a criminal complaint, the police will not treat you unfairly. The rest of the action will be determined by what she does.
Thank you!

A. Your marriage has to be conducted under the Special Marriage Act,1954, as amended up to date. Power of Attorney cannot subserve your purpose.

After 30 days from the date of giving such Notice and wi ...ReadMore

icon Refusal to Marry

My mother had seen a girl for me thru a relative for my arranged marriage. On pressure from the girl's family, both families performed a simple ashirwaad ceremony, without any other legal/social marri


A. Dear Client,
You have a fundamental right to choose and decide. There is no marriage that has happened in your case and even if it did it would not be considered as the consent is forced. As you have filed a GD at the police station for your safety, you don't have to worry. Also, if you have proof about the attempt to suicide then it is recommended to submit them to the police station as it is an offence under the Indian Penal Code.
Thank you.
