He works at a dargah and promised me that marrying him would solve all my problems. I left my family and married him, but after a year, I discovered he’d lied to me. He already has a wife who doesn’t know about me. I want a divorce, but he refuses. We have a child together. What legal options are available to me, and how long will it take to get a divorce if I file a case in court? My sister, who got married last February, has been facing domestic violence due to dowry demands. They separated four months ago. Unfortunately, she was delayed in filing a case due to work commitments. I’m seeking guidance on writing an FIR, the filing process, and where to send copies for faster action. Additionally, can she file the FIR in a printed format? Is a maintenance case under Section 125 of the CrPC decided solely on the complainant’s sworn affidavit, or is additional evidence required in Indian courts? We’ve been together for 15 years, married for 8, and have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter. Recently, I discovered he’s been unfaithful for the second time. This time, it’s been going on for two years. My trust is completely shattered, but he wants to stay married. With our daughter’s love for him and her young age, I’m unsure what to do. Will divorce be the right choice for my future, and how can I protect my daughter? Is it possible to file a harassment case against my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, without including my husband?
