I’m going through a divorce in Bangalore, and things are complicated. My wife is citing impotency, desertion, and mental torture as reasons. We were married for 7 years. During a recent house construction on her property, I lent her about 8 lakhs (half paid online, half directly to the contractor). How can I recover this money (minus her stridhan, which is about 2 lakhs) without involving it in the divorce case? Also, what are the most cost-effective ways to handle the divorce proceedings in Bangalore?
Best Answer
You can recover the loan amount by sending a legal notice demanding repayment. As the loan was for construction on her property, it may be considered a joint asset. However, proving the loan amount and its distinct nature from stridhan will be crucial. For cost-effective divorce proceedings, consider mediation or mutual consent divorce, which can be less expensive than a contested divorce.
