You cannot legally claim support from your second husband as your marriage is invalid under Indian law due to the existing first marriage. Your parents may be liable for abetting bigamy, which is a criminal offense.

My husband and I signed a compromise agreement after I filed a case against him, promising to live together. The agreement didn’t mention anything about property. We jointly filed a petition in the High Court, which asked us to record our statements with the local magistrate. That same day, I had a property I live in transferred to my name because I was worried he might leave me again. We recorded our statements and the case was sent back to the High Court. But he left me and didn’t take our four-year-old son with him. What should I do now?

My husband and I have been married for two years. Due to his traveling job, I stayed with his father in our home for a year. We faced constant misunderstandings, and there were several instances where I was asked to leave the house at inconvenient times. Sadly, I also experienced physical abuse, which I have documented with photos. Now, my husband lives in a different country and I live in another city where I work. We haven’t spoken in six months. I’m financially independent, though my husband earns twice as much as me. What are the grounds for divorce, and am I entitled to alimony?

We got married in January 2016. My husband is an only child, and his parents have always expected him to be close to them. Initially, I hoped that he would always support me. But now, I realize that he blindly sides with his parents, even when they are wrong. My father-in-law often talks down to me and gives orders. My mother-in-law constantly wants my husband by her side, even questioning him whenever we go out. It’s not physical abuse, but it’s mentally draining. I don’t want to hurt my husband, he’s a good man, just deeply attached to his family and easily influenced. I love him deeply and don’t want to leave him. Can someone offer advice on how to manage this situation?

My marriage is in deep trouble. My wife is threatening to damage my career and has been sending threatening messages to my family. I need advice and help urgently.

My husband, living in Pune with his family, filed a case against me under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act. We’ve been apart for over a year, living in Dalhousie with my parents. He hasn’t tried to reconcile. He’s now filed a case in his hometown, and I’m unable to afford the travel expenses. I want a divorce and the money spent on our wedding back. What are my options?
