Hello, First and the foremost thing you should do is, immediately file a police complaint mentioning all the facts and circumstances about the alleged incident inflicted upon you. As per limited details you have mentioned in this question I can only advice you that the alleged person has committed offence of fraud and cheating, therefore you are eligible to get F.I.R. registered against him. If the police does not take action then you may also approach court for such in action by police officials and file criminal case against him. Apart from that you may also seek civil remedies (civil case) against that person to recover you hard earned money. There are plenty of other civil as well as criminal remedies available to you in your matter but for that you need to consult a lawyer and have to show him all the documents and details related to the alleged incident so that the lawyer can give you precise and effective remedy in accordance.

Hello, If your wife is unable to maintain herself i.e., if she unable to earn enough to maintain herself then she can claim for maintenance. And If you have child and the child is in her custody then she can even claim maintenance for your child as well.

Though Court before allowing any maintenance to your wife, will consider capacity of your earnings and other family members who are dependent on your earnings.

Conclusion : Question of whether your wife can claim maintenance or not and if she can, how much she can claim is a matter of fact and circumstances of your case. Therefore consult a lawyer by giving him further details of your case so that he/she can give you worthy advice according to your situation.

Hello, No, there is no need to approach court for your dispute resolution. Court itself suggests parties to settle their dispute amicably. You can settle any kind of dispute outside court but there are certain criminal cases which cannot be settled through alternative dispute resolution.

If your case is already pending in court then you may request court to refer your matter to mediation center, if the other party agrees to it then the court may refer your case to mediation center, where the dispute can settled in accordance with the terms mutually finalised by the parties to the dispute.

If your case is not pending in court then you can directly approach mediation center or take private medition from a good lawyer to settle your dispute. But again for that both the parties to the dispute must agree to settle dispute through mediation.

All the rules and regulations of mediation, arbitration and conciliation (Alternative Dispute Resolution) are governed by the rules provided under Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Hello, I will certainly tell you the procedure but I would firstly suggest you to take help from a good lawyer before getting into this procedure or if you wish to get married without the help of a lawyer then simply follow your rituals of your religion to get your marriage solemnized (For example if you are Hindu then you may visit nearest Arya Samaj Mandir and get your marriage solemnized by performing all the rituals required as per the Hindu religion by taking help from 'Pandits') and thereafter you may apply for the registration of your marriage under Sub-Divisional Magistrate of your district.

Now coming to the procedure of court marriage you have to file a notice/application for marriage to the Marriage Registrar of the district in which at least one of you (parties to the marriage) has resided for a period not less than 30 days then the notice is published/put-up by the Registrar of Marriage inviting objections, if any. After the expiration of 30 days from the date on which notice of marriage has been published, the marriage may be solemnized in the Marriage Registrar's Office unless it has been objected by any person then you along with your spouse and three witnesses (anyone) are required to be present on the date of registration/solemnization of your marriage. There are certain documents required to be submitted depending upon each case so for that visit Marriage Registrar Office to know all the required documents needed to the authority in your case. Apart from that you may have to follow more procedures if it is required in your case depending upon your situation. So if everything goes normal and no body objects your marriage then it would take around 60 days in this procedure.

There is no qualification required for marriage except one i.e., the male who is getting married must have attained the age of 21 years and female must have attained the age of 18 years.

Your application can be rejected only if one of you (couple) is already married or anyone objects your marriage on the ground that it would contravene the conditions specified in Section 4 of the Special Marriage Act.

Hello, there are certain procedures to be followed i.e., if you are victim of domestic violence, then immediately call police or visit police station and submit a written complaint mentioning all the facts about the incident of violence inflicted upon you (quick response is the key for making your case strong) and if the police officials does not take any action on your complaint then you are suppose to give written complaint to the concerned D.C.P. of your area for inaction of the police officials. Thereafter even if D.C.P. does not take any action, then you must consult a lawyer and file case in court for such inaction. As far as evidence, there is no particular list. All the cases are based on all the facts and the circumstances known to the Police officials at the time of incident. Evidence could be your statements, witnesses, your medical reports, video tapes, call recordings, messages etc.

Hi, your answer is yes, one can get behind bars whoever demands for dowry. Under Section 2 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, Dowry means "any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given either directly or indirectly by one party to a marriage to the other party to the marriage; or by the parents of either party to a marriage or by any other person, to either party to the marriage or to any other person; at or before or any time after the marriage in connection with the marriage of said parties" hence if a person demand dowry even before marriage is also punishable for the imprisonment which shall not be less than 6 months but which may extend 2 years and with fine which may extend to 10,000/- rupees. Apart from that there are various other laws provided in Dowry Prohibition Act, Indian Penal Code, Domestic Violence Act, etc., against the act of Dowry.

Dowry is a serious crime which should be eliminated completely from our society as it not only give mental agony to women at large but also to the families associated with them. There are various preventive, deterrent and punishable laws provided in our judicial system, some of which I have mentioned above but I personally feel that giving education to every person from his childhood is the most effective and required tool to eradicate dowry system in India.

Hello, writing a review/complaint on consumer forum is totally different from filing a case in consumer court. One has to draft a complaint mentioning all the facts along with all the evidences and submit the same in the consumer court (as per jurisdiction). But I would suggest you to consult a good Lawyer and send a legal notice before going for any legal action against the company and thereby file a suit in appropriate consumer court. As far as possibility of winning of the case is concerned, nobody can gaurantee you of winning the case as it depends on the facts and circumstances of the case but you will surely win the case if you have reasonable evidence to prove your facts.

As per your question, it seems that you are not at all having cordial relations with your husband and your relations have become irreparable. I would suggest you to file a complaint in police station as well as in Woman Commission. If police does not take any action then you have to take professional Lawyer's/Advocate's help to file a criminal case under Domestic Violence Act alongwith Criminal Procedure Code. Also keep it in mind that if your husband beats you then immediately call police. The above mentioned advice is out of my profession being a Lawyer but if you think that this issue with your husband can be resolved through intervention of your family, then I must say that resolve it, if possible.
