A. Dear Client,

(2010), the SC held that live-in relationships are not illegal or immoral, and that adults have the right to live together even if they are not married. Thus legally it is allowed.

But the dynamic changes of society cannot be easily accepted, therefor communication is the easiest mode to solve the differences. You can mediate, talk to your parents and res ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

We understand your situation. However, we need to highlight the fact that you have given the money out of the bonafide intention and goodwill. Thus there is no existing contract or legal document that confirms or showcases the return of the money within a stipulated time frame along with specific interest. Therefore, it entirely happened on family bonds, without any specific inclusion of legal ties.

Considering the above circumstances, the money which you have given to the concer ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

A. Dear Client,

Legally, changing one's surname after marriage is not obligatory in India. Women are not required to alter their names on passports following marriage. While sharing the same surname may symbolize unity in marriage, it also simplifies paperwork for property matters and joint accounts. Additionally, it eliminates the debate over what surname future children will have. Ultimately, the decision to change one's surname should be based on personal comfort and identity.
