Q: Can family members raise objection on court marriage of adults ?

I am planning to do court marriage. Gal is above 18 and boy is above 21. After applying for court marriage, will notice goes to address of both? if yes, can anyone raise objection with reason that they don't want this marriage. Both belongs to Hindu religion, how to do court marriage without informing parents ?

Advocate Siddharth Jain answered
Yes, if both the parties are residing in different cities, notice is affixed at a visible place at the office of the jurisdictional marriage registrar.If boy and girl are of a legal age, there is no legal impediment for them to enter into a wedlock. Objections can be raised within 30 days period but they have to be legally sustainable.

Q: Complaint regarding refund of fees from a coaching institute.

I am a student of class 11, studying at a prominent coaching institute for jee coaching. I have, apparantly signed a contract stating that my fees can't be refunded in any case as "the fees i have paid cannot be recovered as the institute doesn't enroll students mid-course". I am facing a lot of pressure and am not able to cope up and want to quit the institute. Do i have the right to get a fraction of my fees refunded, despite the signed contract? If so, then if the institute refuses to return a fair portion of fees, what should I do? It would be great if we communicated only and only via e mail and not by call.Thank you.

Advocate Siddharth Jain answered
ideally as you have signed a contract, it would be difficult for you to recover the remaining fees. however your rights flow from a complete reading of the contract only and, hence, without going through the complete document it would be difficult to give a conclusive advice.
