About Family Law

Kanoon Samjho, Ghabrao Mat (Understand the Law, Don’t Fear It)

Family law can be messy, especially when emotions run high. I break down legal steps in simple language so you know exactly what to do, whether it’s about marriage, property, or protecting yourself from false cases. My goal is to make things clear, not scary.

Shaadi & Your Rights

• Inter-faith/inter-caste couples, you don’t need anyone’s permission if you meet the age criteria. The Special Marriage Act lets you marry without conversion.
• Arranged marriage talks? Recording meetings (with consent) can protect you from false dowry case protection later.
• After wedding, send a message to your in-laws making it clear gifts were given out of love, not as dowry - ek simple message can save a lot of trouble in future.

Handling False Accusations

• Never face police alone - always take someone with you. Check if there’s an actual FIR.
• Immediately backup your chats and photos - police might take your phone.
• For serious allegations, apply for anticipatory bail in family disputes with all your evidence.

Property & Inheritance

• No legal right to parents’ property while they’re alive - unki marzi (their wish).
• For assets after a family member’s death, a succession certificate process India is needed.
• Oral wills don’t count - written, signed, and witnessed wills only.

Justice is for Everyone

Law should not be out of reach. If you can’t afford a lawyer, free legal aid is available. Kanoon sabke liye hai (Law is for everyone).
