3.5 years of Hindu Marriage but not registered
Question
My in laws are troubling me and I am pregnant but husband is not supportive of having a child. I am living at my parents place for safe delivery as my husband threatened me. Have already got 2 abortions done. This is our second marriage and he has a son from his previous marriage.
I wanted to ask what legal rights I have with respect to my child. Our marriage is not yet registered but my adhaar card has been updated with my in laws address. I fear if he refuses to give name to my child and does not bear child’s expenses

If your child is fathered by him, then after the birth of the child, he would have all the rights in the ancestral properties of the father as well as he would be entitled to seek maintenance. Similarly even if your marriage is not registered there must be proof of the marriage being performed. with such proof, your marriage can be declared to be legal if any question regarding the same is raised when the dispute arises between the parties.
