No, it’s not possible to file a fresh divorce petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act based on the same allegations of adultery. Once a divorce petition is dismissed on the grounds of adultery, the same allegations cannot be used to file a fresh petition.

My husband and I have been married for two years, and I’ve been living with my parents in Hyderabad. Unfortunately, things haven’t been good. I’ve been facing a lot of emotional and physical abuse, and I’ve had to leave him due to the violence. He recently sent me a divorce notice with false accusations. I used to work before marriage but have been unable to since. We also have a five-month-old baby. Could I use a lawyer in Bangalore to respond to the divorce notice, or should I use a lawyer in Hyderabad? Also, considering my husband earns more than 30 lakhs per year, can I request alimony?

My wife, a government teacher from Haryana, and I, from Himachal Pradesh, married in 2006. After three months, I quit my job to pursue an MSc (IT) degree, hoping to improve our future. This decision was made with her consent. However, despite my efforts, I couldn’t find a job in Chandigarh. I found work in Jaipur, but my wife refused to relocate. This led to constant pressure and accusations that I wasn’t doing enough, even though she knew my circumstances. Her family sided with her, and she refuses to listen to reason. Her behavior is erratic, and she frequently threatens to file false charges against me and my family. My aging mother, who is also a BP patient, is severely affected by this situation. We’ve tried talking to her family, but to no avail. How can we find a peaceful resolution to this difficult situation?
