Introduction Those are the exact words that were spoken by Rajiv (name changed), a US-based NRI who contacted us after his father's Indian bank accounts had been frozen by a US government agency. I believe that he assumed that an email and a copy of the passport, as well as a copy of the death certificate, would suffice. But that wasn't the case. To process the loan, the bank requested a succession certificate from an Indian court . As a result, a year-long ordeal, including incorrect documents, a rejected power of attorney, missed deadlines, and so on.

Introduction Divorcing outside India presents a unique set of challenges, blending legal intricacies with cultural and procedural hurdles. Under the Foreign Marriage Act of 1969, Indian law applies to marriages solemnized abroad between Indian citizens or between Indian and foreign nationals. These cases are also shaped by Indian personal laws such as the Hindu Marriage Act, Indian Divorce Act, and Special Marriage Act. To initiate divorce proceedings in India, at least one spouse must be an Indian citizen or have lived in India for three or more years.

Introduction Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, rituals, and moral codes that revolve around questions involving existence, purpose, the divine, and the sacred.

In spite of the diversity of religion, it continues to shape human societies and individual lives profoundly. People may choose to leave the religion they were born into and embrace another for a variety of deeply personal, social, or spiritual re...

Divorces, custody battles, and maintenance claims arise when family disputes cross borders, resulting in a long, lonely, and complex legal process.

Are you harassed by local police machinery when you are miles away from your current residence, when your child is unlawfully retained in India? When your foreign maintenance order is ignored? Every NRI should become familiar with the Constitution of India and use its powerful set of remedies, because no one else will advocate more vigorously for you than you will. Indian Constitution: Not Just for Indian Citizens Having access to constitutional remedies is at the core of Indian democracy - your right to seek redress directly from the judiciary when your fundamental rig...
