I’ve been married for 10 years now, with two lovely daughters. Recently, I found out that my husband had an affair with my cousin. He promises it won’t happen again, says he’s changed, and begs for a chance. But my heart just can’t believe it. I’m terrified to take action because of my daughters. I’m worried about how this would affect their lives. I can’t even talk to anyone about this because it would ruin my cousin’s reputation and her marriage too. I’m lost and don’t know what to do. Please help me find a way forward.

In India, adultery is no longer a criminal offense. However, you have grounds for divorce under various provisions like cruelty, adultery, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and discuss your concerns about the impact on your daughters.

My sister got married last year, but she left her husband just three days later. She’s now staying with our parents. He wants a divorce, but is delaying it because he knows he has to return the 5 lakhs dowry he received. We’re Hindu, and we’re not sure how to proceed. What should we do?

My elder son’s age is the same as my new wife’s. We got married after her brother-in-law, who held a grudge against her family, falsely accused us of having an affair. We were colleagues in network marketing, she was just one of many women I worked with. He publicly humiliated and even assaulted her, leading her to threaten suicide unless I married her. I felt trapped and agreed. My family disowned me, and I’ve been living with her for 7 years now. We have a daughter, but my first family constantly harasses me over property, even though I give them ₹8,000 monthly and 3 sacks of rice annually. My sons are 28 and 26, and my first wife refuses to divorce, likely due to the financial support I provide. I had shared my predicament with everyone before making this decision.

My husband and I are going through a difficult separation. After discussing it, he became abusive and threatened to make life difficult if I didn’t leave our son with him. He even said he’d fight me in court. The next morning, he calmed down and agreed to a divorce, even offering custody of our son. I asked for this in writing, which he agreed to, but later conveniently forgot. I’m living abroad and completely dependent on him. If he does give me custody in writing, can he challenge it later? Could his family try to claim rights over our son?

My wife and I are facing marital issues. Can I send a divorce notice to her email address as per Hindu marriage laws? What happens if she doesn’t respond to the email? Is this legally valid?

My wife left our home in 1997 and filed for divorce in 2001. We have a son together and she wouldn’t let me see him, so I fought the divorce. She eventually withdrew the case in 2003, and I haven’t spoken to her or my son since. If I file for divorce now, and she opposes, will it be straightforward and how long will the process take? We’re both government employees with similar salaries, and we’re Hindu. Any advice would be appreciated.
