I got married in Mumbai in 2016, but things haven’t been good since. My husband, who lives in India, wanted to marry me so he could move to Europe. Now, I feel used and want to get a divorce. I’m living in Europe, and I’m not sure what steps I need to take. Do I have to go back to India to file for divorce? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can file for divorce in India, even though you reside in Europe. However, since your marriage was registered in Mumbai, it’s advisable to consult a lawyer in Mumbai to understand the specific legal procedures and requirements for filing for divorce in India. They can guide you on the process and help you navigate the complexities involved.

My wife and I are considering a mutual consent divorce. We’ve agreed on a total settlement of 4 lakhs, with 2 lakhs paid at the first hearing and 2 lakhs at the second. Can we deposit the 2 lakhs with the court, to be released only after the second hearing is successful? I’m unsure if this is allowed, so I’d appreciate any advice.

My husband and I, both in our late twenties, got married in a simple Arya Samaj ceremony in Delhi back in 2015. We deeply desire to build a life together, but unfortunately, my in-laws are against us living as a married couple. I want to resolve this peacefully, but need guidance. What legal options do I have to ensure we can live together as a married couple?

We’ve been married for over a year, and my husband just doesn’t seem interested in intimacy. We’ve only been intimate a handful of times in that period, and never fully. We thought it might be a medical issue, but doctors have ruled that out. It feels like there’s a mental barrier, and it’s causing a lot of tension. I’m considering a divorce, but I’m worried about the financial implications. Would I be entitled to alimony in this situation?

My husband and I are getting a divorce by mutual consent. We were married in 2012, so it’s been over ten years. My lawyer said it will take another six months to finalize the divorce. If I submit a waiver application, can I get divorced sooner, maybe in one or two months? My husband lives abroad and I’m wondering if he needs to come back for the second motion or if we can handle it through a power of attorney?

My husband left me after four months of marriage, demanding more dowry and harassing us with his family. I pleaded with him, but he refused to take me back. After another four months, he called, but I insisted on his promise to never harm me again before I would return. He agreed but delayed, eventually filing for judicial separation and an injunction, alleging false accusations like wanting him to live with us and assaulting him and his mother. I have proof of their dowry demands and harassment. Can I file for a dowry case and divorce, and will I be entitled to alimony considering my distance MBA?
