Yes, you can seek maintenance from your husband under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The time taken for receiving maintenance depends on the specific facts and legal proceedings. You must file a petition in court seeking maintenance and go through the legal process of proving your claim.

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?

Being a 35-year-old woman who converted from Catholicism to Islam and married a Muslim in Bandra court two years ago, I’m seeking guidance on getting a divorce. We had a customary marriage ceremony conducted by a court-appointed Kazi under Islamic law. My husband hasn’t lived with me for 18 months and has never provided financial support.

I’m going through a difficult separation. I left my husband’s home in Hyderabad five months ago but waited to get my money back first. We bought a house together, and he took around 15 lakhs from me. Now that I’m moving forward with the divorce, he’s refusing to return my money. I live in Bangalore now, and he’s still in Hyderabad. I’m thinking of filing a police complaint in Hyderabad with a known ACP in the Family Police unit to help recover my money. Then, after about a week, I want to file for divorce in Bangalore. Is this the right process? Can I file a police case in Hyderabad and a divorce case in Bangalore separately?

My husband has permanent residency in Australia and we got divorced there three years ago. I’ve been living in India with our daughter for the past three years. He’s been asking me to transfer the property my father gifted me, but I refused. After I wouldn’t sign the documents, he sent me divorce papers and finalized the divorce in Australia. I tried everything to talk to him, but nothing worked. I’m tired of this situation and want to move on with my life. I’m planning to get a divorce in India and raise my daughter alone. He’s not willing to come to Hyderabad for fear of legal action, but I don’t want to go through court. What are my options for getting a divorce without any legal complications?

Is there a way for my son and me to claim a share of his inherited wealth under Indian law?
