A. Dear Client,

This kind of behavior is widespread in households across the nation, making it a prevalent issue rather than an isolated incident. When you achieve financial independence and believe you can sustain yourself without relying on your family for support, you have the freedom to leave your home and pursue the destiny of your choosing. Legally, you cannot compel your parents to provide maintenance for you as you are now an economically independent adult.

If your mother subjects you to ...ReadMore

The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of equality and fairness among multiple wives and advises monogamy if such equality cannot be maintained.

Under the principles of Sharia law, Muslim men are allowed to have up t ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Your question lacks specific details, but it's important to highlight that Section 16(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, addresses the inheritance rights of illegitimate children. According to this section, illegitimate children are entitled only to their parents' property and not that of any other relatives. Initially, this was understood as a right limited to their parents' self-acquired property, excluding ancestral property.
