I finalized my divorce through mediation on August 16th, 2016, but haven’t received the official decree yet. I have custody of my child, and the father has visitation rights once a month. We agreed on him covering 50% of the child’s education expenses. Is there a waiting period before I can remarry in India? If so, how long should I wait?

In India, there is no waiting period required for remarriage after a divorce, even if the decree has not been issued yet. However, the legal validity of your divorce and the legal standing of your remarriage will depend on the finalization of the decree.

My wife and I are Hindus, married for eight years under the Hindu Marriage Act. She left me five years ago and now wants a divorce, claiming I’ve been mentally harassing her. After receiving the divorce notice, I filed for her return, and both cases are being heard together. I deny everything she says, and have challenged her lawyer to show proof of this alleged harassment. In court, I keep saying I still love her and have no complaints against her. What evidence can she use to prove her case?

Ramesh, a young man from India, was excited to find Sujata’s profile at a marriage bureau. She was described as an IAS officer seeking a suitable partner. After verifying her credentials, Ramesh found that Sujata was indeed a newly appointed IAS officer and they soon got married in a court ceremony. A year later, a baby girl was born. However, Ramesh soon discovered that his wife’s claims were false. She wasn’t an IAS officer and had lied about her age. Devastated and feeling betrayed, Ramesh filed for divorce, citing fraud and deceit. The trial court, however, ruled against Ramesh, ordering him to pay a significant amount of alimony to Sujata and their daughter – exceeding half his salary. Ramesh, appealing to the Supreme Court, questioned the court’s decision: Should a woman who intentionally deceived a man into marriage be entitled to maintenance? Is it fair to allow a woman who deliberately entrapped a man to benefit from her actions?

My mother and father have been living apart for 20 years. She worked during that time but is now retired. Can she legally ask for financial support from my father now?
