Being a Muslim woman, eight months pregnant and facing my husband’s infidelity, I’m feeling lost and vulnerable. He’s pressuring me for a divorce. What are my legal rights in this situation? What steps can I take to protect myself?

As an eight-month pregnant Muslim woman facing marital issues, you have rights under the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. You can approach a family court or a women’s rights organization for legal advice and support. You can also seek protection from domestic violence through a court order.
