I’m struggling to cope. My husband, a central government employee, has a serious drinking problem. We’ve been together for ten years, but the mental and physical abuse is unbearable. He’s even refused to include my name in his official records. I’m currently living with my parents, but it’s getting hard to manage with three children. What legal options do I have to ensure their future and my safety?

You can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and seek alimony and child custody. You can also file a domestic violence case against your husband and seek a restraining order to ensure your safety. Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options in detail.

My husband and I are facing marital difficulties and considering separation. We have two sons, ages 5 and 8.

My in-laws are influencing her as well. I need help getting my child back.

My husband and I got married in 2003 in our village, an arranged match. We never registered the marriage. Now, I’m wondering if I need to file for divorce to separate from him, or since we didn’t have a court marriage, is our marriage invalid? I’m Hindu and have a 12-year-old daughter. I live in Bangalore now.

Previous Article Respected Sir/Madam, I’m about to buy a flat in a cooperative housing society in East Delhi. The seller is requesting 2-3 months to vacate, after the full payment and registration, as he’s bought another property (which I’ve seen is still under construction). I’ve also sold my own house and am currently renting. The flat registration is scheduled for the next 7-10 days. Should I draft a Memorandum of Understanding for this 3-month period for my own safety? I’m also taking a loan for this freehold flat. Kindly advise. Thank you and regards, Nitin
