I recently got married in India, but things haven’t worked out. My wife isn’t a good fit. She and her family misled us with false information, and she has serious health issues. I want to know if it’s legally possible for me to marry my cousin, considering I didn’t receive any dowry and my current wife isn’t happy. Should I pursue a second marriage without her consent?

Indian law prohibits bigamy, making a second marriage illegal while your first marriage is still valid. You cannot marry your cousin without legally ending your current marriage through divorce. Seeking legal counsel is highly recommended to understand your options and proceed responsibly.

We’ve been together for 15 years, married for 8, and have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter. Recently, I discovered he’s been unfaithful for the second time. This time, it’s been going on for two years. My trust is completely shattered, but he wants to stay married. With our daughter’s love for him and her young age, I’m unsure what to do. Will divorce be the right choice for my future, and how can I protect my daughter?

It’s been over a year since things got difficult with my wife. After a year of separation, she called and suggested a mutual separation. We talked, but couldn’t reach an agreement because her demands were unreasonable. It’s been over a month since we last spoke. I have a recording of our conversation where she agrees to a mutual divorce. A year ago, she went to the police station, accusing me and my family of mental torture, domestic violence, and dowry demands, but didn’t file an FIR. What should I do now?

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?
