Dear Madam

I am very sorry about your condition you are facing now. At the outset, you have not been advised properly as far as your problem is concern. Unless husband is not implicated in the dowry harrassment case, your implication will not be taken seriously by courts. So don't worry about the 498 A case. The specific answers to your quarries are as under:

1. You can disown your son by making publication to this effect in two national news paper, one is English and another is Hindi or any regional language news paper.

2 &4 You may initiate legal action against your son and his wife for harrasing and blackmailing you. It may prevent them taking action against you. There is a legislation for elderly people and senior citizens.

3. Make a Will in favour of your elder Son instead of gifting the entire property to him.
