Husband obstructing petition by taking unreasonable adjournments

Respected sir, my husband was taken lots of unreasonable adjournments to delay the judgment in my maintenance petition. I have filed a petition in the year 2000 and got judgment in September 2015.

The court in the judge gave the order of maintenance from the date of order instead of from the date of filing of the petition. No interim maintenance had been received and no other relief was sought by me. I want to appeal this judgment for giving maintenance from the date filing of my petition. Can you advise me the correct proposition of law?

Without solemnized marriage is valid or void

My marriage is not solemnized as per ceremonies of Hindu marriage. But we have been living together for 18 march 2004. We have two children and my husband is working abroad. We came to know that without solemnization of marriage between two Hindus renders their marriage void.

If it is right then my children should be treated as an illegitimate child and myself is a concubine. Sir what is the legal provision in this subject and is it possible for my husband to refuse maintenance and leave us at our destiny.

Cunning wife demanding money

I want to get your kind advise on what to do in the case of my cousin who is facing huge harassment from his wife. He is only 12 passes out, living in Amritsar along with parents and was working in CHINA and married to a girl who is DIPLOMA in nursing and jobless at the time of marriage.

It was an arranged marriage. After the marriage, the girl persuaded him to go to England at study visa. the father of boy borne the whole expenditure to send both of them to the U.K.

But only after 4 months, they both returned on the plea that weather there at the UK did not suit the girl. .the husband while staying a few months went to china. A baby girl was also borne then. When the baby was just 3 months old, the wife put pressure on husband and father in law, that she wants to do B.Sc nursing. Looking for her interest in studying the father in law got her admission in the city itself and college was just 10 km from home.

But soon after the admission, she insisted to study and stay in the hostel. Though unjustifiable, the in-laws bowed at her adamant attitude. Then She shifted her baby to Nani house in Bhatinda. Again the whole expenditure was borne by the in-laws family. After 2 years of study, she passed out and then insisted to do the job in LUDHIANA. i.e. a city where neither her in-laws lived nor her parents lived.

The husband was quite upset abroad decided to return to India. He along with father argued to return to Amritsar and do the job there if she wants to do. but she did not accept .her parents also argued but all in vain.

Despite repeated efforts when she refused to come back one day the husband, along with relatives in consultation with the parents of a girl used a mild force and anger brought the wife back. But this incident she reported to police that husband kidnapped her from the hospital hostel.

All of a sudden her parents also changed. now they are demanding a share from property to get rid of police harassment. Kindly advise what the husband does to save his parents. they already have spent 20 lacs on the wife. i.e. sending Uk and on higher education.

Domestic violence by husband

Domestic violence committed by the husband in the shared household. Sir my husband is a sepoy in up police and he is having sexual relation with his bhabhi. I got married to him on 14 Feb 2014 as per Hindu rites Rivas and his family asked for 10 lakh Rs my father gave to him before marriage when I got doubt on him and asked for end this relationship with his Bhabhi then he had started to beat me and forcefully he had given petrol Botel in my mouth for a drink.

I applied for call details and I found that his Bhabhi made 319 calls in 42 days to his mobile. He has left me from 4 months at my home when my father went with me to my law’s home to drop me then he said to my father that tu mere ghar kaise gaya tere muh me moot dunga.

Then I return with my father to my home. And filed FIR against him. Please tell me is there the father mistake that he has given birth to me as a girl so he is listening so bad word only due to me. Please advice me for legal and fast action against him.

Registration of marriage in Gujrat

I have done an intercaste marriage. Moreover, applied for the benefit of one Scheme which requires the marriage to be registered under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955. I belonged to the SC community in Gujarat and married to a Sindhi Girl. 

We have done a marriage as per Hindu ritual and, through my relative, I came to know that I can get the benefit of inter-cast marriage by Ambedkar foundation which is centrally sponsored scheme, so I have applied to take the benefit of that scheme.

However, they have replied that I am not eligible to take the benefit of this scheme as I have not registered the marriage under the Hindu marriage act, as per there scheme. “The marriage should be valid as per the law and duly registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.” AS I am from Gujarat, I have submitted the Gujarat Marriage Registration Certificate.

So can I again register my marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 in Gujarat and can take the benefit of the Ambedkar Foundation scheme. We have done a marriage on 19.08.2014. Kindly guide us in the matter. Your advice would be highly appreciated.
