My husband and I are going through a rough patch and I’m currently living with my parents. I don’t want a divorce, but I’m hoping to adopt a child. Can I do this without telling my husband? Will schools and colleges accept the child’s application without needing to list a father’s name?

Under Indian law, adoption requires the consent of both spouses. You cannot legally adopt a child without your husband’s knowledge or consent. Schools and colleges may require information about both parents, making it difficult to conceal the child’s father’s absence.

My daughter was born in 2006 after I married, but her father, who lives in the UK, left us while I was pregnant. We divorced in 2010 and I remarried, but needed to leave for Canada. Despite his opposition, I secured temporary custody of our daughter and moved in 2010. It took five years to gain full custody, but my second marriage ended in 2013. Then, in 2015, my daughter’s father appealed the custody order, which is now on hold. How can I secure full custody again to ensure my daughter’s well-being and help me get permanent residency in Canada?

My wife and I divorced a few years ago, and I didn’t pursue visitation rights at the time. I haven’t paid alimony, but I am regularly supporting our daughter financially. Now, she’s turning 12, and I want to seek custody. My ex-wife has a history of making false accusations, which is why I hesitated to seek visitation before. Being a Hindu, I’m hoping for guidance on how to proceed with this matter.

My wife and I have been living apart for the past six months, but we haven’t formally sought a divorce. Due to health concerns, she left our daughter with her mother, who lives around 900 kilometers away. I tried to convince her to bring our daughter back, but she refused. My daughter has been living away from both of us for over a year. I traveled to her mother’s place and brought her home. After learning this, my wife went to her mother’s and filed a domestic violence case against me. I saw online that the court issued an ex-parte order to hand over my daughter to my wife, but I never received a copy of the order. What should I do in this situation?

My wife took our 7-year-old daughter and her 3-year-old cousin to my in-laws’ place a month ago. Since then, my daughter hasn’t been to school and I haven’t seen her. Her exams start on November 28th, but I doubt they’ll bring her back. A domestic violence case against me and my parents is scheduled for December 10th. I want my daughter to be able to take her exams and not lose a year of her education. How can I get her back for the exams?

What if a mother, without a house of her own, wants to care for her child? Can she get custody even if the father has a home? If the mother lives with another man, not being divorced, can she still fight for custody?

Previous Article We’ve been married since February 2014 and have a sweet little one who’s now nine months old. My wife keeps accusing me of having affairs, which is completely untrue. She doesn’t treat me or my mother with any respect, often using hurtful words. I’m at my wit’s end and feel divorce is the only way out. However, I don’t want to remarry, I just want to focus on raising our son. My only regret is that I used to drink a lot, which I’m ready to stop completely. But given her attitude, I’m not sure if we can salvage our relationship. We never formally registered our marriage, and her documents still have her father’s name. How can I go about getting a divorce while ensuring my son’s well-being?
