My daughter, 21 years old, married an IT professional two years ago. They now have a son. However, just nine months into the marriage, her husband sent her back to her parents, saying he no longer wanted her. He subjected her to verbal abuse and violence. So far, his family has not reached out for any compromise or negotiation. What kind of alimony and maintenance can we seek in this situation?

Under Indian law, your daughter can seek alimony and maintenance for herself and her son. She can file a case for divorce and seek permanent alimony based on her husband’s income and their standard of living during the marriage. The court may also order interim maintenance for her and their son while the divorce case is pending.

We’ve been married for a week, and the lawyer prepared an affidavit only signed by us. We haven’t registered the marriage with the BMC yet. We’re both unhappy with the decision and want to separate amicably. Is there a way to do this without going through a full divorce? We’re both willing to pay any necessary fees. Please advise.

My wife and I got married in May 2013. Despite living together for a few months, she often went back to her parents’ place for extended periods, even when we were newly married. She showed disrespect towards me and my family, even in front of guests. Unfortunately, she wasn’t interested in taking care of the household. In October 2013, she became pregnant, and after confirming the pregnancy through an ultrasound, she moved back to her parents’ home in February 2014. Despite our efforts to bring her back, we eventually had to file for divorce in May 2014. She gave birth to a baby girl in August 2014, which we found out through a maintenance case filed by her family. I had been taking care of her during the pregnancy, but they never informed me about her medical treatment or the birth of the child. What are my options now?

For the past six years, I’ve endured domestic violence. My little one is now four, and I’ve decided to separate. My husband wants a “mutual” divorce, but I’m worried about my child’s future. He earns well, but I don’t have enough to raise our child alone. Will the court make him pay child support, regardless of the divorce terms? And if so, how much? I also don’t want him to see our child. Can I keep custody of my child forever? We are Hindus.

Could you please tell me how long it would take, at the very least, to get a mutual divorce or dissolve an Arya Samaj marriage? We’re both ready to go through with it.

I’m deeply unhappy in my marriage and considering divorce. We had a court marriage in December 2014, and I’m now 33. My husband has become increasingly possessive and controlling, often resorting to physical and verbal abuse. He insults me and my family, and his behavior has drastically changed since our loving start. I’m seeking guidance on the legal process for divorce.
