The Bar Council of India can investigate and take disciplinary action against you, including suspension or even striking you off the roll of advocates. This could occur if they find you guilty of adultery, which is a ground for disciplinary action under the Advocates Act, 1961.

I’m a Hindu woman from India, married in 2014 to a man from my caste whose family contacted me after seeing my ad in the newspaper. Soon after, I realized he was unemployed, had bad habits, and started asking for money. I decided to leave and asked for a mutual divorce, but he refused. I lived with him for just two months and haven’t gone back since. What should I do now?

My marriage in 2014 turned into a nightmare. My in-laws constantly nag and criticize me, making life unbearable. My mother-in-law has a strong hold on my husband, who blindly agrees to her demands. She constantly stirs up trouble and lies to him for trivial matters. My husband, currently in Australia, isn’t a permanent resident and constantly asks me for money for his settlement, a huge sum like 8 lakh rupees. My in-laws, including his mother, two sisters, their husbands, and children all live together, making the situation worse. They harass me daily, even throwing me out of the house in December 2014. I’ve been living with my parents for the past five months. My husband came to my parents’ home and promised to take me back, but he left for Australia without my knowledge, and now he and my in-laws have filed a case against my family and me, accusing us of demanding property. He doesn’t contact me, send me money, and my father, a heart patient, is under immense stress because of the constant legal summons. We can’t afford legal representation, and I’m terrified and emotionally drained. I need help, I feel utterly helpless.

My husband’s lawyer kept delaying the case, saying he’d file a counter. I got a lawyer from legal aid, but now they say my husband’s side isn’t filing a response. Does this mean they agree with everything I’ve said? Can we ask the judge about this before I present my evidence? What can I do to use this lack of response in my favor?

My wife and I got married in 2013 after a love marriage. We had an interfaith marriage, and I converted to her religion to marry her. However, we’re now constantly arguing and I want to get a divorce. What steps do I need to take?

My husband has been physically hurting me, and it’s getting worse. Last night, he was really violent, and my 6-year-old daughter saw everything. This isn’t the first time I’ve called the police, but nothing seems to be working. He’s got a job in a private company. I’m scared, and I need help now. What can I do to make sure he stops hurting me and my daughter?
