Advocate Anand Chawre answered
Under the law, divorce can be obtained on valid grounds listed in Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act. ( I suppose, both of you are Hindus, if not, please clarify, advice can be then revised. ) Those grounds are like, cruelty, adultery, desertion, lunacy, impotency, etc. Husband can not force you to divorce him unilaterally.Don't worry, if situation worsens, do consult a good lawyer.

Advocate Anand Chawre answered
Though divorce is civil law matter, the courts expect the parties themselves to appear on each and every date. However, in your case, taking into account the difficulty faced by you, permission can be obtained from the court for exemption from appearing personally before the court. In that case, the court might need your presence hardly on few dates like, counseling, your own cross examination, etc. However, you need to be represented by some competent lawyer on all the court dates, to manage these aspects, with the leave of the court.

Q: Can Hakkasodpatra be cancelled after death of owner

Me n my mother gives hakkasodpatra to my brother. Last month my brother was expired. Can we cancelled registered hakkasodpatra

Advocate Anand Chawre answered
A registered HakkaSodPatra is nothing but a waiver of rights in a property, ie by executing such document, you have waived your rights in favour of your brother. Under this document, your brother became entitled for your share / right in the property, absolutely. It can not be cancelled even after his death. The property will devolve upon his legal heirs, which may include your mother and in some cases, you too.

I have complained to the hr however they save the accused. they are bpo international companies and they have no cctv cameras. How can I defend myself and what are my rights...who can I go to ask for help.thanks

Advocate Anand Chawre answered
A three member panel / committee has to be formed in each establishment where women employees are working, to redress the sexual harassment complaints. You can approach such panel for redressal of your complaint. If such panel / committee is not constituted in your workplace, you need to contact a lawyer for approaching law enforcement authorities.
