Please help

My cousin in Kolkata was married to a man holding a British passport in London 34 years back. He was s*xually incapable and she remains a virgin. He tricked her and sent her back to Kolkata after some time. She was not allowed to live in her in-laws’s house in Jadavpur. A few years later, he had her uterus surgically removed, under the pretext that she had a tumour. Still she did not divorce him. She cut off all contacts with him and continued her life as a school teacher and bought herself a flat where she resides now. She never received any monetary or other compensation from him.

 

After all these years, when she was nearing retirement in 2013, her husband contacted her in December 2012, promising her a share of his London house, pension etc. He backtracked and did not give her anything when he came back next December. Now my cousin wants guidance on what she should do when he calls her up this December.

Please help her on how she shpold proceed.

Regards

S Basu

If she does not want to give anything out of her self acquired flat, pension and other retirement benefits, she must draw a will under the guidance of a sound advocate debarrring him expressly in the will and get it registered in accordance with law.  If she expects something out of his ancestral/self acquired properties lying in Britain, the English law is applicable and she has to take advice from the expert of that particular area of law.

In her self acquired property (both moveable and immoveable), she only has full rights, she can very well dispose it in the manner and wish she desires to.  She can very well reject all his  offer and may not even permit him to enter into her house. If he still perturbs her, she may seek the help of police to solve the issue. Take the aid of a local advocate and tackle the issue fittingly.
