Four years ago, I married with my parents’ blessings. We have two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. Sadly, my husband’s behavior changed after our second child was born. He began to mistreat me, and my mother-in-law constantly creates problems between us. This abuse has happened repeatedly, not just once or twice. On a Friday night in August, around 11:30 pm, I was forced to leave and return to my mother’s home after my husband physically assaulted me and even broke my mangalsutra. He is now demanding a divorce. I’m deeply worried about my children’s future. I need expert guidance on what steps to take next and how to protect myself and my children. Please advise me on how to proceed.

You have grounds for seeking legal protection and separation from your husband due to domestic violence and cruelty. File a complaint with the police and seek a Domestic Violence Protection Order under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Consult a lawyer to understand your legal options for divorce and child custody.

We got married six years ago against our families’ wishes. Since then, I’ve been dealing with his drinking problem and occasional violence. Six months ago, he got drunk and tried to hit me again, so I called the police. They warned him, but I didn’t file a report. Then, a month later, he got drunk and crashed the car I bought. Two months ago, we had a fight and he left without telling me where he was going. He came back after two months, but the next day, he found some pictures of me on my laptop and got angry, demanding a divorce. He hasn’t contributed much financially. I bought the house, he only paid for the brokerage and furniture. Now, he claims he wants a share of the house. He doesn’t give me any money, and most of his income goes towards drinking. I want to know if I can file for divorce and if he can use those pictures to fight it. I don’t want to stay with him anymore.

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and have a 9-year-old son. We are married under Hindu Law. My husband is a retired Navy officer, now working with Boeing India in Bangalore. I live in New Delhi with our son. Sadly, he doesn’t provide me with any money for my needs. I used to work, but had to quit as there’s no one to care for my son – my parents and his family live far away. My husband receives both a pension and salary. Can I legally ask for monthly support even though we’re not getting a divorce? I don’t want to end our marriage, but I need financial assistance for myself.

We got married in December 2011, but my wife has only been able to stay with me for a few months in total since then, due to family obligations. My mother-in-law constantly interferes in everything, even the smallest things. The last time she visited was in August 2013, and I haven’t heard from her since. I’ve lost interest in the marriage. I have a child, and I want to know how to proceed with a divorce. Could my child stay with me? What steps should I take?

My husband suddenly stopped showing interest in me and our marriage. He asked me to move back to my parents’ house, but when I refused, he left and hasn’t returned in a week. What legal options do I have to get him to come back home and stay with me?

My husband and I have been married for five years, but we’ve been living apart for a year now. We’ve decided to end our marriage amicably. Can you tell me what steps are involved in getting a mutual divorce in India?

Previous Article I’ve been living with my in-laws for the past four months. They’re saying they’ll only keep me if I give them my salary. My husband doesn’t work and they claim I’ll get nothing even if I file for divorce because all the property is in my father-in-law’s name. I’m disabled, so is there any chance my daughter and I have a share in the property? What should I do?
Next Article I’m from Rajasthan and have been working in Dubai as a business consultant for the past 5 years. My husband and I got married in a temple in Mount Abu in February 2016, but we didn’t tell our families. We only have pictures of our wedding, taken outside the temple, showing me wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. Now, my husband is refusing to acknowledge our marriage. He grew up in the UAE, but is currently living in a village in Gujarat with his grandparents. His family is struggling financially in the UAE and doesn’t own any property in India. I informed my family about the marriage in 2016, and recently told his family, but they won’t accept me. I’m heartbroken and want to save our relationship. What can I do?
