Q: love marriage of daughter without her parents prior knowledge

My daughter, 22 years, loved a guy for years, from her school days and now, before completing her studies, left home and married her lover with the support of her lover's family.Marriage was conducted at a temple for which, we, her parents, were not present.Now my doubt is whether it is necessary to persuade them to undergo procedures stipulated in Special Marriage Act / Hindu Marriage Act for a legal validity and security of my daughter's married life. eventhough it was without our consent. WE, both parties are Hindus. Please mention necessary steps, if any, we have to take, to make her future life trouble free. We want to make it sure that she gets all legal rights as in the case of a mutually agreed and arranged marriage.

You can file anticipatory bail before the district court, where you are residing and also file petition before the high Court of Kerala.. it is difficult to avoid mother, in case there are serious allegations against your mother. When they file case you can approach high court for quashing the same. Quashing will depend upon the allegations made against each one.. Thank you

Q: Regarding Maternal grandmother's property

My maternal grandmother died on 2009(abnormal death), without making any will for the property, she inherited from her mother. In 2014 my uncle misguided my mother and her 2 sisters and make them signed in some documents regarding the property (giving full rights to him). At the same time he also misguidedly made my grandfather gave his(grandpa's) self acquired property to his name. In 2017 my uncle died without making any will. After his death, his wife and 2 children (son & daughter) tortured my grandfather many times (not giving enough food and even accused him of fake rape attempt, he has admitted in hospitals many times for food poisoning). (As per my grandfather's will, they only get full rights to the propery after his death, but in this will it didn't mentioned about his maintenance). My grandfather is now in his 80s. Only recently we got to know about all of this. Is there any law regarding the other grandchilds (daughter's childs) can file any case for the above properties?
