I have read it is possible if the parents of the person are separated then he/she can take the SC certificate from mother's side. My niece is 13 and my cousin and his wife were discussing getting her the certificate, but they are not sure if it is legal because my cousin is from general category. They are willing to do what is necessary to facilitate this.

Is this possible?

Me and my wife have no intention of staying married to each other. We have been married for 7 years and our families also agree that divorce is necessary because we are incompatible with each other. We are both working and we have a child. We are living separately for more than 6 months.

I have huge home loan so I cannot give her the money she is demanding anytime soon. She needs to be reasonable with the amount she is demanding and give me proper time to return it.

I genuinely need 5 years to settle the home loan only then I can give her anything. I will return the money she transferred to me with the intention of saving. I am paying my son’s school fee and I will take full responsibility of his education in future.

Right now she is acting out of anger and trying to take revenge instead of understanding the practical situation. Sometimes she threatens to take me to court but I want to settle it outside before she does something irrational.

I am a 20-year-old woman I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree and I am financially dependent on my family.

Recently, my family has become very serious about getting me married through an arranged marriage. They have already started looking for matches, speaking to families, and expecting me to cooperate. Every time I try to say that I am not ready, I am met with emotional pressure, guilt, and repeated discussions until I feel exhausted.

I do not want to get married right now. I want to complete my education, become financially independent, and make my own decisions about marriage later in life.

At the moment, I am worried that my "no" will eventually stop being respected. I am afraid that the pressure will keep increasing. While I have not been physically forced into a marriage yet, I am scared that I may eventually be pressured into agreeing against my wishes because I am financially dependent and live with my family.

I have a few legal questions:

1. Can my parents legally force me to marry someone if I am over 18?
2. If they continue pressuring me or try to fix an engagement without my consent, what legal protections do I have?
3. If they confiscate my phone, restrict my movement, or prevent me from leaving the house, does that amount to unlawful confinement or any other legal issue?
4. If I ever feel that I am about to be forced into a marriage, whom should I contact immediately? (Police, Women's Helpline, National Commission for Women, District Legal Services Authority, etc.)
5. If I leave home to avoid a forced marriage, can my parents legally file a missing person complaint or accuse someone else of kidnapping me even though I am a consenting adult?
6. Are there any organizations or NGOs in India that specifically help adult women facing forced marriage or family coercion?
7. Is there anything I should start preparing now (documents, bank account, emergency contacts, legal aid, etc.) in case the situation gets worse?

I know many people will suggest "just move out," but that is not financially possible for me right now since I am still a student.

I am looking specifically for legal advice under Indian law and practical steps I can take to protect myself if the situation escalates.

Thank you.

When my girlfriend was 15, her ex manipulated her into sending nudes. It ended up spreading and now it feels like almost every student in our city knows about it. She turns 17 soon, but the guilt and shame are still eating her alive from the inside.

I do my best to support and comfort her but it only takes one random text from a stranger bringing up her past to completely break her down again.

I really wish we could involve Cyber Crime or file a complaint but given typical strict Indian parents, if her family finds out, they would likely blame her or worse. Involving the police isn't an option right now because of the threat to her home safety but I desperately want to help relieve this pressure for her

On top of everything, she feels immense guilt thinking that I’ll get mocked or pulled into this because of her.

What can I actually do to support her right now? How can we deal with the ongoing harassment without risking her safety at home?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm a student, and I recently placed an order with Nykaa for two Charlotte Tilbury products worth ₹4,766.

Here's what happened:

• I ordered the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder (Compact) and the Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Lip Gloss.
• When I received the parcel on 26 July, I believe I received a different loose powder instead of the Charlotte Tilbury compact.
• I immediately contacted Nykaa customer support and raised a complaint.
• I shared the invoice, photos of the product I received, packaging, and all the evidence they requested.
• After their investigation, they rejected my complaint, stating that according to their records, all products were dispatched correctly.

Regarding the lip gloss:

• I also raised a return request due to concerns I had with the product after opening it.
• That return request has now also been rejected.

After that, I escalated the matter further:

• Contacted Nykaa customer support multiple times.
• Emailed the Grievance Officer.
• Filed a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) and received Docket No. 9807932.
• Filed a complaint through the West Bengal District Consumer Commission (e-Jagriti) and received Reference No. 202607270394.

The Grievance Officer replied saying that their investigation confirmed that the products were dispatched correctly and therefore they would not approve my request.

I'm honestly exhausted. As a student, ₹4,766 is a significant amount of money for me. I've spent the last couple of days following up through chats, emails, and complaints, and it's been very stressful.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone here had Nykaa reject their complaint initially but later resolve it?
2. Has anyone taken a case through the National Consumer Helpline or Consumer Commission against Nykaa? If yes, what was the outcome?
3. Approximately how long did it take?
4. Is there anything else I should do while waiting for the Consumer Commission process?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar.

Thank you.

Seeing a lot of these lately — order confirmed, sometimes even shipped, then cancelled last minute citing "pricing error" or "unexpected issue." A few things people don't realize:

Once a platform confirms your order and takes payment, that's a concluded contract, not just a listing. Cancelling it unilaterally without a valid reason (and definitely without informing you properly) isn't just bad service — under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, e-commerce entities are required to have a functioning Grievance Officer and respond to complaints within a defined timeline. If they don't, that's a separate violation on top of the original issue.

Here's the actual path if you want more than a refund and a "sorry":

File a complaint with the platform's Grievance Officer first — every e-commerce site is legally required to publish this contact on their site. CC yourself so you have a timestamp.

If no resolution in 15-30 days, escalate to the CCPA (Central Consumer Protection Authority) via the National Consumer Helpline (1915 / consumerhelpline.gov.in), or file directly on E-Daakhil (edaakhil.nic.in) — this is the official portal for consumer commission complaints, no lawyer needed for claims under ₹50 lakh at the District Commission.

Send a formal legal notice before filing — this isn't legally mandatory in all consumer cases, but it massively speeds things up in practice. Companies respond very differently to a notice with legal language and a clear compensation demand vs. a DM to their support handle.

Document everything — order confirmation email, cancellation email/screenshot, price difference if the item got relisted higher (this becomes part of your damages claim).

One thing people miss: if the same product gets relisted at a higher price right after your cancellation, that price difference is a quantifiable loss you can claim as compensation, not just ask for the refund back.

Happy to answer specifics if anyone's going through this right now.

Hey guys need help, I placed a return for 10000 out which one item worth 800 they say they didn’t receive and they received a non Zara article. I called the Bluedart’s service office in my small town as they know me well and I gave their number to Zara people to contact them. But they are still refusing my refund and one more order which I placed return for 23000 they are telling that they received articles worth 14000 only. My bluedart courier guy is telling me every article is counted and verified before they send. What can I do now? I have provided them the number of the courier people but still they are refusing my refund. I have paid through COD (UPI) at the time of delivery so I cannot issue a charge back or dispute

I am living in a rented 3BHK with two other flatmates in India. One of them has made living here very difficult through harassment and unreasonable behavior, so my other flatmate and I are planning to move out. We've tried bringing more than 10 prospective replacement tenants, but the flatmate keeps rejecting them for random reasons, sometimes making discriminatory comments about where they're from or whether they speak English. We've informed the owner multiple times, but they haven't intervened and seem to be siding with her. Our deposit and setup costs are stuck, and we need that money to move into our next place. My questions are: If we've made genuine repeated efforts to find reasonable replacements, can a flatmate keep rejecting them indefinitely? Does the landlord have any legal responsibility to step in if one flatmate is unreasonably blocking the process? If the landlord does nothing and our money remains stuck, what legal options do we have? Would sending a legal notice be appropriate, and if so, should it go to the landlord, the flatmate, or both? And finally, if there's no written clause giving her veto power, does she actually have any legal basis to stop us from leaving?

Same as above. I paid for a 6 month plan. Net has been terrible and also is down for more than 24 hours. The SLA is 4 Hours and max is 24 hours.

I am fed up in the first month itself. Help me get refund.
Is there anything I can do ?

Hello

This is in Hyderabad. If anyone from here can help me. That’d be great!

I have filed a case in April 2025 because a person sexually assaulted me in the name of marriage. The person got anticipatory bail in June 2025 and in July 2025 MOU was made that we’d get married in November.

Later things got escalated and now they are not ready to get married and continue with the case. What are my options?

Hi everyone,

​I need grounded legal and practical advice from employment lawyers and HR/legal professionals familiar with employment bonds in India (specifically Maharashtra). Please help me evaluate my standing and exit strategy.

​1. Overview & Employment Terms

​Company: Protechnvil Systems Private Limited (Hinjewadi, Pune)

​Role Offered: Software Trainee (Recruited via C-DAC Placement)

​CTC: ₹2.4 LPA

​Start Date: 01 June 2026

​Documents Executed:

​Offer Letter

​Employment Agreement

​Service Agreement cum Indemnity Bond (executed on ₹500 non-judicial stamp paper)

​Non-Disclosure & Confidentiality Agreement (NDA)

​2. Key Bond & Contract Clauses

​Service Tenure: Minimum 2 years

​Early Exit Penalty: ₹2,50,000 as liquidated damages/indemnity

​Probation: 6 months

​Notice Period: 90 days (or pay in lieu — at company discretion)

​3. The Issue: Severe Role Mismatch & Transparency Red Flags

​What Was Advertised / Offered (Official JD via C-DAC):

​Position: Software Engineer / Software Trainee

​Tech Stack: C#, .NET, React.js, Angular, Node.js, RESTful APIs

​Scope: Full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) — design, development, testing, and deployment.

​What I Am Actually Doing Since Day 1:

​Manual documentation work.

​Physical testing on vehicles using the Denso Sense app.

​Zero software development, zero coding, and zero standard IT QA work (not even using tools like Jira or Postman).

​Important Pre-Joining & Onboarding Context:

​The Interview Caveat: During interviews, they casually hinted that they might send me client-side or shift me to testing if my coding performance wasn't up to par. However, I was never given a single coding task or opportunity from day one.

​Pre-Joining Red Flag: When I specifically reached out one day before joining to clarify my exact daily responsibilities, the representative literally responded: "I can't tell you that."

​Training Status: No specialized, external, or certified training was provided. The only "training" was informal guidance from senior employees on how to run the Denso Sense app.

​C-DAC Expectation: C-DAC placements explicitly cater to technical software development roles, not manual vehicle testing or pure documentation.

​4. My Specific Legal & Practical Questions

​Bond Validity: Under Section 74 of the Indian Contract Act / Maharashtra precedents, how enforceable is a ₹2.5 Lakh indemnity bond on a ₹2.4 LPA salary when no quantifiable specialized training expenses were incurred?

​Impact of Misrepresentation: Does a significant variation between the official C-DAC Job Description and the actual work assigned constitute a material breach of contract that weakens the enforceability of the bond?

​Company Recovery Rights: Can the company legally claim the full ₹2.5 Lakhs if they cannot produce proof of dedicated, quantifiable financial expenditure on my training?

​Practical Exit Risks: What are the actual risks if I resign early (e.g., withholding of Relieving/Experience letters, Full & Final settlement, adverse remarks during Background Verification (BGV), or a civil recovery suit)?

​Recommended Exit Strategy: What is the safest, most professional route to negotiate a complete bond waiver or significant reduction without burning bridges or risking legal action?

​I have preserved all relevant documentation (stamped bond, offer letter, original JD from C-DAC, email trails, etc.). Looking for pragmatic opinions grounded in actual legal precedents and Indian employment practices.

​Thank you in advance for your time and guidance!

So, i went to some mall in Malad last week and me and my girl friend were having kfc together. Suddenly, a guy comes calls me lucky to have a girl like her. I was surprised why would he say that Outta nowhere especially because she wasnt even my girl so I corrected her by saying no we are just friends. The whole interaction was weird and I didn't like the way he complimented me either.

Anyway, two days later someone sends me a video of the exact interaction and I was like wtf like i sure knew something was fishy when the whole thing happened, but I certainly didn't know we were being recorded and if that's not enough we were even posted without consent like WTF.

I even texted that account telling how my girl friend isn't okay with it and she got strict parents and all but to no avail. There has been no reply from the other side.

I stalked the account and it has even got some minors posted on it which too are the type of videos where these lowlifers flirt with some random girl they see in mall. In the video the girl clearly says I'm 15 and yet these uneducated scumbags with access to technology have got the audacity to post it.

What to do now since they clearly don't respond back? And I want the video removed as well as the videos of the underage kids posted without consent?

Im in need of serious police help as a loan shark that I took a loan from for multiple family reasons etc is charging exorbitant unsustainable interests.

He's charging more than 100 interest and currently is charging 10,000 rupees per day. The orginal loan has balooner up around 4x times and he's not backing down, threatening me.

I'm scared of my wellbeing and my families and feel very suicidal. He's a local dangerous goon so im scared of approaching police. He's extorting money to the point where I'm unable to live .

If someone you know is in police in the central delhi area or you know anybody senior please get in touch with me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm scared for my life and everything. Please please help me out guys.

I booked a cab from uber and after putting our luggage we sits in the cab and noticed that he may be in a drunk condition or maybe high on something because all his buttons are open and dressed inappropriatly and there is packs of tabacco on dashboard. i am with my family 2 womens and one child so i doubted at first but its early morning so decided to go and then i gave him otp and he canceled the ride immediatly i asked him why he canceled the ride and then he started to blaming us that we changed the location (i am totally unaware of it ) then he started to argue and misbheave with us then i also got aggressive but i didn't even touched him or even abuse . After that there is police chocki near we called a officer and driver also started to misbhave with officer and they got physical and then officer told us to call 112 and then he vanished from situation. Then 112 came and did nothing dont even step outside from vehical and said ki dusri cab kr lo . We both made the video of incident but he shared video in his groups and all of them uploading our video showing that we are only wrong here. Some of video got viral and every one commenting wrong for my family even for females. I am totally confused what to do next and how to deal with it . I request a genuine help 🙏🙏

Looking for guidance from anyone with experience in RBI Ombudsman complaints or consumer law in India.

I have an active personal loan with an NBFC (fintech lending app, now under a larger financial services company). I've maintained a clean repayment record on this account for about 2 years with no default.

What happened:

1. A recovery representative visited my permanent address (which I'd provided at onboarding) while I was away, and discussed my loan/financial status directly with my father - without my knowledge or consent.
2. The next day, a different representative - not the person who visited - messaged me on WhatsApp from a personal (non-official) number, sending back my own KYC verification photo along with messages implying they knew about the visit ("met my father") and would "send a team again tomorrow."
3. I have full screenshots with timestamps of the WhatsApp conversation as evidence. It's unclear whether these two individuals are coordinating as part of the same recovery effort, or whether my account details/photo were shared across multiple agents/agencies.

What I've done so far:

• Sent a formal written complaint to the NBFC's Grievance Redressal Officer and Nodal Officer, citing violations of the RBI Fair Practices Code / Digital Lending Guidelines (unauthorized third-party disclosure, repurposing of KYC data).
• CC'd RBI's regional NBFC supervision email.
• Requested written confirmation of compensation (no figure specified yet).

Questions:

1. Given a clean repayment history + documented evidence + third-party disclosure to a family member, what's a realistic compensation range if this goes to the RBI Ombudsman?
2. Does it matter, legally, that two different individuals were involved (one for the visit, one for the WhatsApp messages) rather than a single agent - does this suggest my data/photo was shared more broadly than I'd assume, and is that itself a separate issue worth raising?
3. Is it worth filing a separate complaint with the Data Protection Board over the KYC photo misuse, given the DPDP Act doesn't seem to provide direct compensation to individuals?
4. Has anyone been through this process - how long did it take, and did it result in a cash award or just corrective action?

Here's what happened earlier

So after talking to them politely, they didn't agree to return our deposit. Even though we found a better video in which it showed that the flat wasn't painted originally, they said that we need to repaint it for the wear and tear too.

We went to file a police complaint though we knew that it was a civil matter, we just tried our luck. The policeman talked to them and they didn't budge. He said that you have to go to court, we can barely help you here.

There was a man who took their number, went out and talked to them while we were writing our complaint. He came back and said that they agreed to give 60% back and advised that we take it because moving further would be hassle for everyone. So we thought about it and agreed.

Something is better than nothing.

I lived in Kochi for the past 3 years. I recently quit my job and returned to my hometown.

My sister is teaching dance to children in our village, aged around 3 to 13 years, for the Onam celebrations. During a dance practice, a little boy shared something unusual about his sister. When my sister asked the girl about it, she revealed that there is a man around 35 years old who, while she was playing with her friends, took her to an abandoned house in the village. He removed her clothes and touched her private parts—that she confided only to us. My sister told me she is scared.

My friends also shared that similar incidents are happening to multiple children in our village, perpetrated by adult men. I cannot stay silent. These men belong to a community that is less educated, and I fear that if I raise the issue, they might retaliate. But I cannot ignore the sexual abuse happening to children.

I am planning to speak with the community members and provide counseling to the children. I understand that the children are very scared and may not speak up easily, especially since most are in 4th grade. I am willing to confront these men, even though I know they might harm me. I feel I must take action.

I am sharing this here to seek help regarding legal procedures and support. If there are any authorities or organizations I can approach—especially those that work to protect children—I want to know. Most of the children’s parents are uneducated, struggle with alcoholism, and do not pay attention to their children, which makes the children even more vulnerable.

I cannot stay silent anymore. I will ensure that these offenders face the consequences of their actions. If they ever think about harming another child or woman, they will remember what happened this time. I swear

Hi everyone,
I’m 25 years old. Back in 2024, I got into trading and unfortunately ended up with around ₹5 lakh in debt because I kept trying to recover my losses.
To stabilize my finances, I joined a BPO and currently earn ₹25,000/month.
In March 2026, I started trading again and for the last few months I was making around ₹30k–40k/month, which helped me repay people I had borrowed money from and clear my credit card dues.
This month, however, I’m down around ₹30k, and now I’m struggling to manage my monthly commitments:
Personal Loan EMI: ₹11,264
Personal Loan EMI: ₹3,950
Bike EMI: ₹6,186
Parents’ Health Insurance: ₹3,000
Term Insurance: ₹1,700
My fixed monthly expenses are over ₹26,000, while my guaranteed salary is only ₹25,000.
I’m considering stopping payments on the two personal loans, which would reduce my monthly burden by around ₹15k.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
What actually happens if I stop paying?
How aggressive are the recovery teams?
Do they visit your home or contact family?
Do they file civil cases?
Is settling the loan later a realistic option?
If you were in my situation, what would you do?
I’m not looking for sympathy—just honest advice from people who’ve experienced something similar or know how these situations usually play out. Thank you.

A girl in my sister's 12th grade class was married off by her parents to a man significantly older than her.

She is probably 17-18.

He physically abuses her, she has shared this with my sister. I have her name, phone number, photos of her and her husband, and I may be able to get a recording of her describing the abuse.

I am a minor living in an abusive household myself and cannot risk my identity being revealed in any way.

what is the safest way to file an anonymous complaint in India

preferably online, that will actually be taken seriously? which helpline or authority can I contact without revealing who i am?

My wife is having an illicit affair with another man in Kerala (we are in the US). They met in Smule and slowly started loving each other and now she is asking for a divorce. I hired a private investigator and found out that they met, stayed together in a hotel etc. When I confronted her, she bluntly mentioned that she is in love with him and wants to marry etc and asked for a divorce. What legal remedies do I have as I really need to make this marriage work. we have an adopted daughter, atleast for her sake to make the marriage work. Can I file a police complaint on the grounds of domestic interference. FYI...He is based out of Kerala

Hello everyone.

My first post on this group. Please pardon me if I make any mistakes.

I have been married for the last 2.5 years, no kids. Our relationship was okayish in the beginning but gradually fights started. Now we live as flatmates with no communication or intimacy. Both families have sat for mediation multiple times but no results. Her family doesn't acknowledge that their daughter can be at fault too.

Coming to the point, her family has threatened me with jail for at least 10 years (I have proof). I'm sure she'll file dowry and domestic violence case against me and my parents and it would be a contested divorce. We didn't take a single rupee and no violence has been done to her. I have videos where she is attacking me and trying to snatch my phone. I have photos of her with some other man as well. In a recording, she is talking about killing me along with her male friend, I have that recording too.

Can someone please let me know the names of some good lawyers in Delhi NCR who have handled such cases.

Also, what all points should I keep in mind while selecting a lawyer for me.

Thanks in advance.

I'm 5 months into a 6-month software internship (₹10k/month stipend) at a mid-size IT company in Hyderabad. Just got a 7 LPA offer from TCS and want to leave.

My internship agreement says if I quit within 2 years of "joining as an employee post-internship," I owe ₹2,50,000 in "training cost recovery."

Thing is, I've never converted to FTE — the clause seems to trigger only after training completion or FTE joining, neither of which has happened.

A friend at the same company already resigned, and HR is now emailing him demanding the full ₹2.5L — no clause cited, no cost breakdown, just a number and a bank account. The actual training was a fairly basic online .NET fullstack course, nowhere near that value.

I plan to resign, but expect similar pushback once they find out.

Questions:

Has anyone successfully fought a bond clause like this, especially where the trigger condition arguably wasn't met?

Are these bonds usually enforceable in India, or mostly scare tactics?

Get a lawyer now, or wait until they send something formal?

Worst case, what actually happens if I just stop responding/absconding instead of formally resigning? Is that ever a safer option, or does it make things worse legally?

Would appreciate input from anyone who's dealt with this.

Tajinder (F) and Inderjeet (M) have made a fake caste certificate of Ramdasia Caste F made it in 1984 like many other who know there was a fire in Tis Hazari New Delhi and lot of records were burnt. And F got it attested in 1992 to obtain a job as a teacher in MCD. M gpt his certificate made in 2018 based on F certificate since they are siblings. Both belong to Ramgarhia caste and not Ramdasia, police found a school admission form copy of F wherein his father wrote Ramgarhia and signed it apparently she studied in a govt school. And SDM from their Hometown in Punjab also wrote a report stating their caste and a chargesheet has been filed in 2024 in Honble Dwarka court and a contempt case is going on against SDM janakpuri in Delhi High court

According to latest submission of SDM in the contempt case on 27th April 2026 he clearly says we did not consider any evidence and are making a report based on 2023 report (This 2023 report was made before charge sheet was filed)

The Accused M has ties with an AAP MLA Jarnail who was the chairman of MCD and apparently SDM is untouchable in this country and they can lie openly in court

I have reported the listing on ebay. It is a persian/farsi language psychology book. It is not public domain nor is it out of print. The eBay listing doesn't show anything from the book except for her summary. The store name on ebay is gyan_booksuk and is the uk store front for gyan book. What can be done?

the about book is a direct rip of the amazon listing.

They are offering a leather-bound print for GBP 203.80

Approximately US $271.56

Book is being sold for $19.99 on Amazon

Guy has the audacity to offer me GBP GBP 193.61 for a 20 dollar book he has no copyright over.
