Q: Repeated Suicide Threats from GF

I dated a girl for about 3 months. From the beginning, I told her I needed time before deciding on a serious relationship. Recently she started sending suicide threats, rooftop photos, and messages saying she would kill herself if I stopped talking to her. I informed her family and shared evidence. She later left home, and her family repeatedly asked me to contact her. I no longer want to continue the relationship. What legal steps can I take to protect myself ?

Advocate Mohd Shibli answered
Dealing with coercion and threats of self-harm is deeply stressful, but your priority must be protecting your safety and establishing clear boundaries. Because this involves severe emotional manipulation and potential legal risk, a proactive approach is essential.First, issue a final, unambiguous written message stating that you are ending all contact and do not want her or her family to reach out to you again. Once sent, cease all responses entirely; do not engage, as any reply can prolong the behavior. Second, meticulously document every interaction. Save all text messages, call logs, emails, rooftop photos, and suicide threats in secure, multiple locations, including cloud storage and physical printouts. Do not delete anything, as this serves as vital evidence. Third, protect yourself legally and physically by filing a formal police complaint or police report details of the harassment and extortionate threats. This establishes an official paper trail, protecting you from false accusations if she goes missing or harms herself. Finally, consider seeking a restraining order or cease-and-desist letter through a legal professional to legally bar her from contacting youthanks

Q: Want declare myself as legal heir in property owned by Mother

I want to know the process how can i add myself a s legal heir for property , pension and everything my mother owned and similarly for my ancestral property as well

Advocate Mohd Shibli answered
To claim your deceased mother's self-acquired assets, pension, and your ancestral property under Indian inheritance laws, you must secure official documentation confirming your status as a Class-I legal heir. First, obtain her official death certificate from the municipal authority. To transfer immovable property and claim family pensions or government benefits, apply for a Legal Heir Certificate at your local Tehsildar or Revenue Office, a process taking 15 to 30 days. For movable financial assets like bank accounts, shares, or fixed deposits lacking a registered nominee, you must petition the local Civil Court for a Succession Certificate, which involves a public notice period and takes 3 to 6 months. For your ancestral property, under the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, you hold an equal birthright. Gather ancestral title deeds and your legal heir certificate to establish lineage. If your family agrees on the division, draft and register a mutual Partition Deed at the Sub-Registrar's office, followed by a property mutation request in government land records. If family disputes arise, you must hire a property lawyer to serve a legal notice and ultimately file a Civil Partition Suit in court to secure your rightful share.
