Q: Threaten of false dowry case by wife and her family

It's been 4 months that my wife after 3-4 days of marriage continuously threatting me for filing false dowry case. She belongs to criminal family background . After marriage we come to know about it so I she said she will not follow any family rules and regulations she will do whatever her mother and sisters will say. Now I'm emotionally and mentality totally broken. I asked her for divorce but she denies that she will not leave and will not give me divorce either. What I could do Now

Advocate Pankaj Kumar answered
You can file a petition for divorce under the applicable provisions of matrimonial law, even if your wife is not willing to give mutual consent. Depending on the facts, you may seek divorce on grounds of cruelty. Preserve evidence of threats, messages, and other relevant communications. If a false dowry case is filed, consult a lawyer immediately and defend yourself through the proper legal process. Avoid arguments or threats, and document all incidents. The appropriate legal remedy will depend on your religion, marriage details, and available evidence.

Yes, the husband may be able to sell the property, provided he is its lawful owner. However, the wife’s right to reside in the property and any court orders must be considered. The legal position depends on the ownership and facts of the case.

Q: Can I cancel Bayana over a title dispute and claim double refund?

On 5 Oct 2026, I agreed to buy a house for Rs 30 lakh and paid Rs 3 lakh cash Bayana. Registry is due 5 Jan 2027; seller default clause provides double Bayana (Rs 6 lakh). A third party filed a title/specific performance suit on 8 Oct; court restrained sale on 9 Oct. Seller offers only Rs 3 lakh refund. Can I cancel now without being treated as the defaulter? Is Rs 6 lakh enforceable, and what total settlement (Rs 4-5 lakh?) is reasonable? How do I preserve my rights?

Advocate Pankaj Kumar answered
You may have a legal claim for refund of the advance and potentially double Bayana, depending on the agreement’s terms and the circumstances of the seller’s inability to complete the sale. Before cancelling or accepting the refund, I recommend reviewing your Bayana Agreement and the court’s restraint order to protect your legal rights. Please share these documents for a proper legal assessment of your claim and the best settlement strategy.

I'm dentist n I have all documents they r not even paying my salary not even notice period salary not even security deposit . Security deposit- no policy

Advocate Pankaj Kumar answered
You may have a claim for unpaid salary, notice-period salary (if applicable), and security deposit, depending on your employment terms and applicable law. Since you are a dentist and have relevant documents, please preserve your appointment letter, resignation proof, salary records and termination communication. The legality of termination and recovery of dues can be assessed after reviewing your documents. No signed notice-period policy does not automatically settle the issue in your favour.
