I’m a Hindu woman from India, married in 2014 to a man from my caste whose family contacted me after seeing my ad in the newspaper. Soon after, I realized he was unemployed, had bad habits, and started asking for money. I decided to leave and asked for a mutual divorce, but he refused. I lived with him for just two months and haven’t gone back since. What should I do now?

You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and desertion. Since you have evidence of his unemployment, bad habits, and financial demands, the court will likely grant you a divorce. You should consult a lawyer immediately to initiate legal proceedings.

My husband left me after just one year of marriage, claiming I’m not mentally well. We’ve filed a police report. He earns around ₹20,000 and mentioned in some emails that his family has cut him off. I’m a B.A. graduate and haven’t been working, we don’t have any children. I’m Hindu. What kind of alimony can I expect?

I got married on 15th March 2015, and my wife has been living with me ever since. However, for the past month, she, along with her parents, has been constantly harassing me, threatening to harm me, and even using goons to intimidate me. They have also filed false cases to ruin my career because I want to pursue civil services. I want to seek a divorce based on cruelty. How can I do this safely, without them filing further false accusations against me? We did not have any intimate relations for the first 40 days of our marriage, and even after that, it only happened under duress. She refuses to engage in any such activity. Is there any legal provision requiring compensation in such a case, especially since we didn’t take any dowry?

My wife left our home a year and a half ago and, despite our requests, she refuses to return. She’s demanding 10 lakhs in alimony. We were married for four years, but she often misbehaved with family members, leading to occasional disagreements. However, these were infrequent and never escalated to physical harm. We sent her an advocate notice to come back, but she responded with false allegations last month. My annual income is 11 lakhs, with a net monthly salary of 70K. I’m 30 years old. My wife, 26, has no income but is capable of working. We have no children. I’m worried about the alimony calculation. Is it fair that she demands alimony despite initiating the divorce without any major reason? She cannot prove dowry, extramarital affairs, or physical abuse. We treated her well and with respect. Since only notices have been exchanged and no case filed yet, will the court consider the lack of a justifiable reason for divorce and potentially refuse her alimony? Can I present a lower salary to reduce the alimony amount, considering I have borrowed money that I’m repaying?

My husband left me four months ago after we moved out of my in-laws’ place. We had a disagreement, and an NGO helped us decide to live separately. We rented a flat, but he only stayed for ten days before moving to a PG after a fight. I called the police, and we underwent medical tests. Sadly, I had a miscarriage due to the stress. I want to stay with him, but he’s not cooperating. Can he file for divorce based on our separation for six months?

My husband filed for divorce last month claiming I’m having an affair. He says he receives calls from other men at night and suspects I had an affair even before we married in July 2013. We were only together for a couple of months before I moved back to my mom’s for my engineering studies. Now he wants a divorce based on these calls. I admit I received calls from friends during exams, but they were just friends. Will the court grant a divorce based solely on phone calls?
