Under Hindu law, a divorce settled outside court without a formal decree is not legally recognized. A court-ordered divorce is the only valid way to legally dissolve a marriage, allowing individuals to remarry.

My wife and I haven’t been happy for five years, and we haven’t shared a physical relationship in that time. I want a divorce, but she’s not ready to let go. We have a five-year-old daughter, and she uses her as a reason to stay together. Her family constantly interferes in our lives, and she ignored my concerns about this. The situation has only worsened. She refuses to consider divorce because her parents won’t allow it. They won’t let her live with them either, and she relies on them completely. They mistreat her to avoid her presence at home. Despite knowing this, she’s afraid to go against her parents’ wishes. I’m looking for advice on how to move forward in this difficult situation.

My husband tricked us all when we got married. He said he earned a decent salary and worked at a company, but it wasn’t true. After marriage, he didn’t work and kept asking for dowry. One day, he even tried to hurt me. I left his house, but my family, worried about their reputation in our community, didn’t support me. Now I’m living separately and my husband wants a divorce. I’m willing to stay if he guarantees my future and safety by sharing his property and income, but he refuses. He keeps bothering me. What can I do to get a divorce?

I married in March 2016. My wife has been visiting her family often since then. We didn’t consummate our marriage for two weeks due to what she claimed was pain. We finally did around Holi. Soon after, I contracted an STD. My wife then claimed she might be pregnant. A doctor confirmed her pregnancy. My mother is unwell and my wife isn’t being supportive. She throws tantrums and her family encourages her. I recently recorded them discussing how to keep pretending and get me in trouble.

My husband and I are separated, living with our 4-year-old son. He’s been hitting our son, and I’m worried about his safety. I need better care for my dialysis treatment, and my mother in a different city can provide that. I want to take our son with me and enrol him in a local school. But my husband won’t let me. Can I legally leave with my son without his permission? Should I file a police complaint first? I don’t want a divorce, just a chance to recover with my son by my side.
