Under Indian law, you have the right to maintenance for yourself and your child from your husband. You can file for divorce and seek alimony and child support. You should consult a lawyer to understand your specific rights and options, as this situation requires legal guidance.

My family forced me into marriage in 2012. I tried to stop it, but they pressured me and made me scared. I felt so helpless that I just went through with the wedding. Last year, I left everything and ran away, but fear brought me back. I begged everyone to help me get out of this marriage, but the police threatened me to stay. My wife has their support, and I don’t have any proof of the forced marriage. She won’t agree to a divorce, and she’s still living with me. What can I do?

My family, while traditional and well-established, is facing a difficult situation. I was arranged married in November 2016, but from the very beginning, my wife has created a lot of problems. She constantly tries to undermine my character and dignity, and has even attempted suicide on three occasions, with her family supporting her actions. The verbal abuse she directs at me and my family is extremely hurtful. I am desperate to separate from her, even if it means facing legal consequences. I need guidance on how to proceed.

My husband has been physically hurting me, and it’s getting worse. Last night, he was really violent, and my 6-year-old daughter saw everything. This isn’t the first time I’ve called the police, but nothing seems to be working. He’s got a job in a private company. I’m scared, and I need help now. What can I do to make sure he stops hurting me and my daughter?

In India, what are the chances of a wife receiving alimony if her husband is unemployed or financially unstable? Especially when her family spent a significant amount on their traditional wedding, believing his claims of financial security that later turned out to be false?

My brother got married in November 2015, a traditional Hindu wedding. We just found out his wife has schizophrenia, a condition her family never disclosed before the marriage. This feels like a complete betrayal, and we’re in a difficult position. Doctors advise against continuing the marriage due to the challenges of this illness. But we’re also afraid of a possible lawsuit, like charges under Section 498A or the Dowry Act, if we go for a divorce. We’re stuck and frustrated. What are our options? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Next Article I’ve been seeing this guy for a while now, but he hasn’t found his footing yet. He says he’ll marry me once he’s settled and ready to commit, even promising to write it down on stamp paper. But what if he changes his mind later? Would that stamp paper be enough to take legal action? Is there another way to ensure he’ll marry me once he’s settled?
