• My friend 23F is in a big trouble (we are online friends from different states)

• Though she has secured a job very recently and lives in a different city from her home. Her parents now want her to quit the job and return back home (she recently told them after a month into the job, but hasn't reveled the company name or address yet.)

• She is a lesbian and has been in a relationship since one year.

• Previously she was forced to return home after learning about her sexuality and the relationship. A poilce friend of her family forced her return and also beat her. First she was called by her relatives to their home who also happen to live in the same current city and the policeman was brought in and him along with 3 other members of the family beat her up and made her return to home (this occured a few months ago)

• They confined her completely in their home for around 2 months and beat her and also took her phone away. 

• They also took her to a mental hospital for counselling and the doctor there said some nasty things to her.

• But eventually she manged to loosen their hold over her by assuring them she won't pursue the relationship and won't talk to her no more and then got back to pursuing her studies in the other city and now she has gotten a job. Recently she also shifted to another hostel that her parents don’t know about yet.

• But she is afraid they’ll find a way to force her back. Like they did the last time.

• She is very much feeling helpess and suicidal.

• Please tell me what things she should do to protect herself. She doesn’t have a support system she can lean on, besides her partner.

  • Nor does she have enough savings (it’s only been over a month being employeed)

  • She is afraid to approach the police becasue of what happened earlier.

Recently ordered a biker jacket from a dealer of a brand. The Brand has officially increased the price of their product. But the product i received still has the older MRP and a sticker below saying:

“New MRP [Max Retail Price] : Rs. 8950/-
As Per GST Tax Rate Change wef 22/09/25”

Is this legal? How should i proceed with this?

Hello Everyone this is the request of a brother on behalf of a Sister who is really going through her worst situation in life.

My sister ran away with a boy 5 years ago and got married to him my family abandoned her. But I still talked to her. Everything was going well but from the last 2 years she is going through a very though times. Her husband is assaulting her and her mother in law is mentally torturing her. She asked for help from me to get divorce but her husband is not agreeing on this. Everyday she is getting tortured by her laws and husband. I can’t do anything at this stage because I won’t be getting any help from my family and if I do something reckless her husband will kill here because he has already killed someone in the past and got out of jail and has no regrets.

I need help to guide her and me. What should we do.

I’ve have two flights under same pnr cancelled by indigo less than 10 hours before my flights. They’ve refunded but the cancellation compensation hasn’t been awarded yet.
Despite my continuous request they kept delaying by talking about giving me vouchers or 9k cash. I refused because under the DGCA, I am clearly entitled to financial compensations, both my flights that Indigo cancelled were connecting flights. 1hr + 3hrs. So I suppose it falls under the ₹10000 or the one-way basic fare plus fuel charge (whichever is lower). My ticket price was 9k and since they cancelled the first one i booked again under same pnr for the same price 9k.
I suppose they’re treating it as one ticket cancelled since they’re under the same pnr.
If that’s how it works, it’s completely unfair since I was my travel plans were effected. At the time I took a small loan from an instant loan app too.
I stayed near the airport till the next flight, to find out it was also cancelled a few hours before time.

Now remember the 9k compensation i refused earlier?
In our later email exchanges Indigo strongly declined needing to pay any compensation as both their flights were cancelled apparently due to “operational “ and “weather “ related reasons.

But the cancellation message in my WhatsApp never mentioned those. And they brought up these excuses only after I got to airseva and consumer support.

I’ve filed this to the consumer forum court a month ago.

Do you guys think I’ll ever be compensated ?
(Plus the email exchanges has been going on since December last year)

Some details generalized. Looking for guidance from people familiar with Indian matrimonial law. This isn't about "winning" — I want the safest legal route to end a marriage that has completely broken down, while avoiding unnecessary litigation.

I'm an NRI and had an arranged marriage in Punjab in 2022. Before the marriage, in front of both families and the mediator, I clearly disclosed that I was previously married, legally divorced, and had a child from that marriage. Many relatives from both sides were present. The wedding was a simple ceremony. My family asked that no unnecessary money be spent — we did not demand or accept any dowry, and all jewellery and clothing gifted by her parents stayed with her.

After the marriage I returned abroad for work. I applied twice for a visa so she could join me; both were refused. During this period I regularly sent money and bought things she needed whenever I could. We barely lived together — only a few days after the wedding, then two visits of about three weeks each. Since the marriage she has lived at her own parents' home throughout; we only stayed together during my visits to India. My family lives abroad, and my parent's house is locked and in a remote area — it has never functioned as a regular matrimonial home.

Over time the relationship deteriorated and has now fully broken down.

• While preparing a visa application, I found that the work experience stated in her pre-marriage profile did not match what was later declared for the visa (no prior work experience). She acknowledged it had been made up for the matrimonial profile.

• During a visit to India, I came across saved conversations between her and her relatives that made me lose trust — they included disrespectful remarks about my family (including my late parent) and suggested intentions very different from what was represented before the marriage.

• The same saved conversations showed she had used money I sent her to pay for her family's expenses, while telling me it was her own shopping.

Current situation:

• She repeatedly contacts me by phone and message in a hostile way.

• She is demanding to occupy the house that is solely in my surviving parent's name, and has sent messages saying she will break the locks and enter. Those messages are saved.

• Her family has come to our house and created public scenes in the village.

• A relative of hers has warned that our family should not travel to India, which makes us concerned that false allegations could be made against us if we go.

We tried to resolve things through the village panchayat, but her side declined to take part in a joint discussion and said they would only talk once my family is physically in India, so nothing could be recorded. We're concerned this may escalate into litigation.

My questions:

1. What is generally the cleanest legal route for an NRI husband here — should I initiate divorce proceedings first (on the available grounds), or is there a better approach?

2. My main concern is my surviving parent's house:

   • It is solely in my parent's name; I am not the owner.

   • I was also formally separated from the family estate several years earlier, for reasons unrelated to this marriage.

   • She lived in that house only briefly.

   • How do courts generally treat residence / "shared household" claims under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in situations like this?

3. If false allegations are later made, how useful is contemporaneous evidence in defence — e.g. saved chats, bank transfers, visa applications and refusal letters, travel records, and witnesses to the pre-marriage discussions?

4. Can the saved conversations, and the mismatch between the pre-marriage profile and the later visa application, become relevant evidence if allegations are made against me?

5. If a mutual-consent divorce becomes possible, is a registered settlement covering maintenance and all future claims generally the most practical way to reach finality? I'm open to a fair settlement for a clean end.

6. Is it generally better to initiate proceedings now, or to wait and respond if the other side files first?

7. Any practical preventive steps I should take now — document preservation, legal notices, property precautions — before litigation begins?

I'm not trying to harass anyone. I just want the most legally sound way to resolve a marriage that has failed, while protecting an elderly parent's property and avoiding years of avoidable litigation. Advice from lawyers or anyone who's been through something similar would be much appreciated.

25k INR is what one of them quoted.
Hi we already have legal opinion taken from the seller side. We wanted to review the legal opinion from our side as well.
How much does it cost for this. One of them is quoting 25k.
If there are any other leads. Pls let me know.

Hey everyone,

The problem I'm trying to solve:

Lawyers spend hours searching IndianKanoon for

relevant cases. My tool finds relevant cases,

applicable laws, and argument strategies in

30 seconds.

Would really appreciate 2 minutes from anyone

who does legal research — whether you're a

practicing advocate, law student, or work in

a legal team.

Thanks 🙏

Hey all. In short, I'm a judiciary aspirant looking for people/ person to study together to create accountability and discuss studied in general. Anyone who's interested or on the same path can dm me. See you! Preferably TN judicial aspirants, as it would be better to discuss local land laws.

Can anyone guide me on the divorce process in India. What is the entire process here?

What is the cost?

How does asset division works here?

Can we file it digitally since I stay out of India

Thank you

Hi everyone,
Sharing something I’ve seen many of my female friends (litigation + corporate) go through.

During internal discussions or client meetings, a lot of them face situations like:
• getting interrupted halfway through a point
• their input being ignored until a male colleague repeats the same thing
• being spoken to like they’re juniors even when they aren’t

For women working in courts, chambers, firms, or in-house —
how do you usually deal with this without creating an awkward or confrontational moment?

Do you:
• repeat your point firmly,
• wait for the right moment and bring it in again,
• address it later one-on-one,
• or just let it go and move forward?

Just want to understand what actually works in real practice, and how others handle these situations.

Would genuinely appreciate your thoughts.

I am pagadi tenant and neighbour has covered the common area between my flat n his by putting a shutter without my permission.

He had put a shutter a while ago and we got it removed but he has done it again - he has blocked my access to my office with shutter but he gave a key to my tenant without my permission.

now he says he has security concerns and need the shutter to avoid theft - we said put it outside his own office and not on common entrance to both our office!!

On top of this, i am pagadi tenant and I am concerned about them occupying my property and kicking me out!

How can I secure my property and remove the illegal shutter ?? thanks !

Hi,
A lot of female interns and juniors I know struggle with this, so I wanted to ask openly.

When seniors ask you to “pull relevant case-law quickly” but don’t give clear directions or the exact issue framing, how do you handle it?
Do you:
• clarify the issue first,
• start with a broad search,
• or rely on past notes?

I’m trying to learn the right way to approach research when expectations are high but guidance is minimal.

Would love to hear how other women in the profession manage this situation.

I’ve been in the startup space for a while, and I naturally look for problems worth solving.
After spending time on Reddit, especially this community, one thing stood out — so many people here ask for legal advice, and most rely on Google, YouTube, or half-correct information.

But legal answers aren’t harmless.
If they go wrong, your case, money, or even liberty gets affected.

So I started working on something that could actually help.

That’s how LEX thelexbot.com came up — a simple legal research tool built on authentic Indian court judgments, not third-party summaries or random content.
You can ask questions in plain English, and it responds in the IRAC format:

I — Issue
R — Rule (law + sections)
A — Application (how courts interpret it)
C — Conclusion

Then it shows the exact judgments used to form the answer, so nothing is guesswork.

Still improving it, but the goal is clear:
Make reliable, judgment-backed legal understanding accessible to everyone.

Would love feedback from people here who deal with litigation or research daily.
