I’m a Hindu woman and married a Muslim man without my parents’ knowledge. We didn’t live together and I filed for divorce due to his cruelty. He refuses to grant divorce and demands a hefty sum of money. We later discovered he was already married with children, which we’ve presented in court. Despite collecting evidence, the case hasn’t progressed for three years. He keeps postponing hearings. I need to end this ordeal quickly. What can I do?

Since your husband was already married, the marriage is void under Indian law. This can be used to expedite the divorce process. You can file a petition highlighting this fact and requesting an urgent hearing. Additionally, you can consider filing a contempt petition against your husband for delaying the proceedings.
