Legal Articles
Q1. How should a wife reply to a letter from her husband alleging desertion, when she is living separately due to threats to her life?
Advocate Mrunmayi Kotawadekar answered:
If living separately is due to threats, cruelty, or domestic violence, that is a valid legal ground. The reply should deny the allegations with supporting facts, and if the husband files for divorce on this ground, it can be contested with appropriate legal reliefs sought.
Q2. What legal options exist for a wife facing 10 years of financial exploitation, physical abuse from an alcoholic husband, and abuse toward her child?
Advocate Mrunmayi Kotawadekar answered:
The facts disclose domestic violence and cruelty. A complaint can be filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, seeking protection, custody and maintenance, along with initiating divorce proceedings. If there is immediate danger, the police should be contacted without delay.
Q3. Can stridhan still be recovered if an ex-parte divorce decree did not address its return?
Advocate Mrunmayi Kotawadekar answered:
An ex-parte divorce does not extinguish the right to recover stridhan. If the Family Court did not grant relief on this, separate proceedings can be filed for its recovery, or the omission can be challenged depending on the facts and the decree.
Q4. As the sole legal heir and prior nominee after a mother’s death, how can flat ownership be formally transferred when the housing society refuses and charges high interest?
Advocate Mrunmayi Kotawadekar answered:
Nomination does not equal ownership. A Legal Heir or Succession Certificate should be obtained as the sole Class-I heir under the Hindu Succession Act and submitted to the society for transfer. If refused, a dispute can be filed with the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies, along with a request for an interest waiver citing the transfer delay.
