Since you won the Section 9 plea, you can file a petition for divorce and also seek a reduction in maintenance. You can argue that the circumstances have changed, including the fact that you won the Section 9 plea, which suggests the original case was false.

I’m going through a difficult situation. My spouse’s current address is unknown, and I want to file for divorce. Can you guide me on the process?

I’m a Hindu woman from Maharashtra. In 2012, I married a man from the same caste in Madhya Pradesh. We were from different backgrounds and faced cultural differences, leading to our separation within two months of marriage. We signed a separation agreement on stamp paper before going to the village council. Both of us moved on with our lives. He remarried and has a child. In 2016, I married another man from a similar background. He was also divorced and had a court-ordered decree. Our wedding was a traditional Hindu ceremony. However, I soon discovered he had serious health problems, including liver issues, low blood platelet count, severe vitamin deficiencies, and an inability to maintain a normal physical relationship. He also stopped working and relied on rental income. He admits he concealed these issues from me. We have been living separately since December 2016. What are my legal options to end this marriage?

My father, a heavy drinker, has been abusive for 15 years. My mother endured it for a long time, but eventually, she left with us, moving to another state. After a year, he pleaded for a second chance, and she gave him another try. But soon, he returned to his old ways, becoming even more aggressive. We had to flee again, but he tracked us down, causing more pain. We finally had to involve the police and my mother filed for separation, getting a court order to protect us. Now, he’s unwell, and his family is pressuring us to return or give up our claim on his property. What should we do?

Previous Article A fellow student from another campus, whom I’d never met, made a comment on Facebook. I responded with sarcasm, using a rude word. He then started abusing me, so I continued my sarcastic banter, jokingly suggesting he pay my canteen bills, since his campus doesn’t have a grand inauguration like ours. He retaliated with a lengthy and racist comment. Despite his continued abuse, I turned off my notifications. Now he’s filed a case against me in the Supreme Court near his hometown. I need to move it to Madras High Court, as it’s my hometown and I’m a 20-year-old student with limited funds. Facing the Supreme Court would be a huge financial burden.
