Q: Boyfriend claiming to commit suicide, what to do

I am 18 years old. I have a boyfriend he is 20 years old. He wants to commit sucide because of the frustation from family. His father got to know about our relationship and after that he is behaving very strict. He tonts him and scolds him each moment and also disowns him.He has attempted to sucide but was rescued by fortune but noone knows abt it this attmpt of him.He says that before committing sucide he will leave a note and run out of home which means that noone could find him afterwards. Please tell me what should I do. I dont know what will he write in his sucidal note if he will mention my name or not. Can his family members file case against me? or can the police come for inspection to me on their own?

Write a letter to Station House Officer of your area stating all the facts and threat given by your boyfriend regarding sucide and also send one copy to ACP of your area. You will get details and mailing address of these officials in google.

Q: Living in Austrailia on student visa want to file a case of divorce

Hi..I am on student visa in Australia. Ots been 9 months I am here. My child and husband are on dependent visa. Due to differences I want to file divorce. Where should I file same? India or Australia? If India, do I need to b present while filing same or I can get the papers ready and sign them in Australia.

Advocate Manmohan Singh Mehra answered
Since your marriage has taken place in India, your divorce petition shall also be filed in India. There are two types of divorce proceedings1) Divorce by mutual consent2) Contested Divorce on ground of cruelty, adultery,mental disorder, physical incapacity etc. You need to be present in India and sign affidavit in case of Mutual Divorce but papers can be prepared even if you are out of India. But at the time of filing of divorce petition, both the party should be present in India. However, in case of contested divorce it takes place only when both the party are present in India.

Q: Filed civil fraud case on in-laws in Canada want to enforce in India

Hi, I am taking my ex-wife and my inlaws for civil fraud in Canada and I wanted to know supposing that we are going to win the case will that judgment be enforceable in India??? If yes under which law and if not under which law or court rulings.

Advocate Manmohan Singh Mehra answered
To enforce civil or criminal case, jurisdiction of offence committed in that particular area need to be established. Since, the offense has been committed out of India, and trial too has taken place out of India. Hence, judgment shall not be enforceable in India.
