I’m going through a difficult time. My husband uses harsh language towards me and my family, and it’s causing me a lot of emotional pain. He has physically hurt me on a few occasions, though I haven’t reported it to the police. We haven’t been intimate in a long time, and he’s not interested in a separation. We have a young child together. I’m thinking of leaving him. Can I file for divorce myself, without a lawyer? And what belongings can I take with me when I move out?

Yes, you can file for divorce yourself under the Indian Divorce Act, but it’s highly recommended to seek legal advice to understand your rights and the process. You can take your personal belongings and essential items for your child when leaving, but it’s advisable to consult a lawyer about property division and child custody arrangements.

My name is Manohar Raju. I got married a year ago. Two months after our marriage, my wife confessed to an affair she had five to six years before we met. She said her parents were aware of this relationship and even agreed to it, though it ultimately didn’t happen. She also admitted to a physical relationship with this man. After conceiving our child, she returned to her parents’ house and gave birth to a baby girl. It’s been eight months, and I haven’t seen her since. I’ve been deeply disturbed by her infidelity, even before our marriage. Now, when I’m seeking a divorce, she’s denying everything. Her parents are also threatening legal action against me and my mother, alleging dowry harassment and domestic violence. I’m at a loss. What should I do?
