The duration of a divorce in India is unpredictable, varying from months to years depending on factors like contested issues, court workload, and the specific legal grounds for divorce. Generally, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 5 years or more.

What are a wife’s rights to her husband’s property if he wants a divorce but she disagrees, according to Indian law?

My wife and I, an NRI couple, had an arranged marriage last year in India. We have a three-month-old baby. She has been staying with her parents for the past six months. We only lived together for two months, and she was with my family for just 2.5 months. I never demanded dowry, but now her parents are making false allegations against me. She has stopped responding to my calls, texts, and emails for two months. My parents tried to reach out to her, but she refused to come back without explanation. Recently, I was cut off from my family property and relationships, including my wife and baby. What legal options do I have, and what are the worst-case scenarios? Can they summon me abroad, especially if they don’t have my address? Could they harass my parents? Will this affect my NRI status?

My divorce happened five years ago. Can I still claim a share of my husband’s property?

My wife returned to her parents’ home after three months of pregnancy. Since then, we’ve been constantly arguing over the phone. After our child’s birth, I’m not even allowed to see my child properly, and she uses hurtful language. I haven’t even received a phone call from her in six months. Last week, when I tried to visit my child, they wouldn’t let me. Then, I received a threatening call from the police, who are close to them. What should I do now? Can I file for divorce? If so, what alimony and property share should I give (my salary is Rs. 68,000, and my home loan EMI is Rs. 35,000)? Can she claim ancestral property in a divorce?

Previous Article In a criminal case filed against two individuals for cheating and forgery, I’m the original complainant. The police, during investigation, recorded a statement from Mr. Joshi, who claimed to have submitted a forged document to a government office in 2002. However, I have four documents proving that Mr. Joshi submitted this fabricated document in 2008, not 2002. My questions are: 1. Can Mr. Joshi be prosecuted under sections 191 and 192 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and punished under section 193 of the IPC for providing false information to the police? 2. Can I file a complaint under section 340 read with section 195 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) against Mr. Joshi in the Magistrate’s Court?
